I bought GOOACC 240-Piece Retainer Clip Assortment as part of my camper van equipment.

Comparing a Retainer Assortment with One Repeated Clip
I cut the heater-cover front and triangular sides from black aluminum composite sheet.
I joined the panels with brackets and self-tapping screws.
I fitted the cover around the angled seat platform, where drilling access affected the screw positions.

My Takeaway from This Job
The GOOACC boxes supply several retainer shapes, while Rexka concentrates on the Ford W716507-S300 clip pattern. A mixed kit and a dedicated clip pack organize the hardware differently; the smaller GOOACC package also includes a removal tool.

Compartmented box
A retainer clip has a head shape, stem shape and mating opening to compare. Keep the removed clip and its location together when identifying a replacement from an assortment. For van trim work, that location record can distinguish fasteners from neighboring panels even when their heads look alike. The compartmented box helps separate the styles, while the actual original fastener and panel opening provide a more useful physical comparison than the total piece count alone.

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.
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.
