The item in my kit
I bought GOOACC 240-Piece Retainer Clip Assortment as part of my camper van equipment.
The retainer assortment is part of the small hardware I bought for the van. My cover-building diary shows why I kept different fastening approaches organized: front panels, side pieces and brackets each needed their own attachment layout.
Where it fits my build
I made a front panel and two triangular side pieces from black aluminum composite sheet. The cover let me orient the heater vent toward the van interior instead of following the sloping back of the seat platform.
I joined the panels with brackets and self-tapping screws, then fitted the assembly at the seat base. The angle of the platform made drilling awkward, and one screw position left a hole that I planned to cover with a larger washer.

My build notes
I liked the black composite sheet: it was easy to work with and cut, and I liked how it looked. The difficulty came at the angled fastening positions, where access mattered as much as the shape of the cut panels.
The finished panel shape and the access for fastening it had to work together.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The smaller GOOACC kit remains a mixed assortment, while the Rexka set concentrates on a Ford wheel-opening molding clip style rather than a range of universal shapes.
GOOACC 120-Piece Retainer Kit
This assortment contains plastic push retainers in several sizes and shapes. A clip-removal tool accompanies the compartmented storage box.
These plastic retainers are sold as replacements for Ford W716507-S300 wheel-opening molding clips. The pack concentrates on one clip style rather than a multi-shape assortment.
