The GM reference retainer is specified for a 6.5 mm mounting hole and a 4.5-7.0 mm panel thickness. Compare head size, stem length, retaining shape, and seated grip with the original clip before using this replacement. The listed examples do not establish fitment for other model years or mounting locations.
- One package of ten M6.3x20 black plastic push-pin body fasteners.
Push-pin retainers secure panels, shields, and related components at compatible mounting holes. Replace damaged or missing retainers with a fastener that matches the original mounting arrangement and holds the component securely.
This black plastic retainer uses an M6.3x20 size designation. The mounting position and number required depend on the vehicle and component. Use the GM reference chart as a comparison guide when researching Camaro or Firebird applications.
- Compare the replacement with an original retainer from the intended mounting location.
- Check the mounting-hole diameter, combined panel thickness, and available clearance.
- Inspect the mounting hole and surrounding panel for damage.
- Align the component and mounting holes before seating the retainer.
- Avoid forcing a mismatched fastener. Confirm that the installed retainer holds the component securely.
