Specifications Type: U-Clip Door & Interior Trim Panel Fastener Application: Door & Interior Trim Panels Material: Steel Finish: Zinc (Silver) Width: 10mm U-Channel Width: 3.3mm Length: 11.3mm Vehicle Fitment Tesla Model 3 (2017–2023) Tesla Model S (2016–2023) Tesla Model X (2016–2023) Cross-Reference Numbers Tesla OEM: 1008245-00-A SMS Part#: 25284 Why is this retainer steel instead of nylon? Tesla uses steel U-clip fasteners in specific interior locations where higher retention force or thinner panel profiles require a metal fastener rather than a plastic push-clip. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance appropriate for interior use. What panels does this retainer secure? This retainer is used on Tesla door trim panels, pillar covers, and other interior cabin trim pieces. It slides over a flange or edge on the vehicle structure, holding the trim panel firmly in place without tools for removal. Is this an OEM equivalent replacement? Yes. This retainer matches Tesla OEM part number 1008245-00-A and is a direct replacement for the factory-installed fastener on Model 3, S, and X vehicles from 2016 to 2023. How do I remove Tesla trim panels without breaking retainers? Use a plastic trim removal tool to pry the panel edge away from the door or pillar structure. Work around the panel perimeter, releasing one clip at a time. Steel U-clips can be reused if they are not deformed during removal — inspect each one before reinstalling the panel. What pack sizes are available? This retainer is available in packs of 50, 100, 200, and 300, suitable for single repairs or stocking a shop that regularly services Tesla vehicles.
