Both GM and Ford used an 8.5mm panel hole with identical spacing requirements for certain cowl and fender applications throughout the late 1990s–2010s. The 20mm head and 22mm stem geometry meets both manufacturers' specs, which is why this clip appears as GM 11589293 and Ford W712196-S300 in OEM catalogs. What does "closed end" mean? A closed-end retainer has a solid tip rather than an open split end. This makes the clip waterproof — no water or debris can pass through the center of the stem. Closed-end clips are preferred for cowl vent and fender applications where water exposure is a concern. Does this fit Cadillac? Which models? This retainer is used across multiple 1997-and-newer Cadillac models. The best way to confirm your specific application is to match OEM part number 11589293 against your vehicle's parts catalog, or compare the panel hole size (8.5mm) against an original clip you have in hand. How many do I need per vehicle? Cowl vent panels on these GM and Ford models typically use 8–20 retainers depending on the specific panel. Fender liner applications add additional clips. We sell in packs of 25, 50, 100, and 200 with volume pricing applied automatically. When should I replace these? Replace them any time a cowl vent panel, fender liner, or underhood panel is removed for service. Nylon retainers degrade with UV and temperature cycling and may crack when removed from vehicles 10+ years old. Replacing the full set ensures an even, rattle-free hold across the entire panel.
