The item in my kit
I bought Rexka Ford Wheel-Opening Molding Clips as part of my camper van equipment.
The Rexka clips belong to the trim hardware I bought for the van. My custom-cover diary documents a different panel attachment job, where bracket positions and the final fit of each piece mattered.
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 two GOOACC options are mixed retainer assortments, offering several shapes rather than repeating the Rexka clip pattern.
GOOACC 240-Piece Retainer Clip Assortment
This GOOACC assortment contains plastic push retainers in several shapes and sizes. A compartmented box separates the clip styles for trim and body-panel fastening tasks.
