Saxo Panels are lose

22nd June 2017, 17:29

Hey guys, i have a Saxo from 99 with a 1.6 8V engine. it says on the side it is a VTS but from what i understand a 8V is a VTR right? Still my car does 0-60 in about 7 or 8 seconds. I dont know if the car has any horsepower mods.

Anyway, the reason why i am making this thread is i have a question regarding a couple lose parts on my car. i want to replace the clips that are holding these panels but i dont know how they are called, how many i need and where to buy them. (i preffer aliexpress)

the panels that are lose are:

You can't just buy clips the glue has gone, you will need to tiger seal the brackets back on then buy new clips, the new ds3 clips are better and they have anti vibration rubbers on them. Plenty of people have done it before so do a search

Mate firstly don't bother buying them online, they are literally like 21p each from Citroen, and as above they will provide the newer C2/C4 (as it states on the packaging) clips with the anti vibrate bits.

As above, anything that will bond will do, tiger seal will hold a rear spoiler on at 120mph+, just a single bead will be enough to hold it on tight with the proper clips!!

maybe better just to tigerseal them all on -hold them while it sets with masking tape
any sort of grip fast PU adhesive not silcone bathroom sealer --but make sure the backs of trims and clean and grease free
they will never come off again
if you bought a new door they never come with the holes for the fastenings anyway--you have to drill them --so sticking them is easier and better =no holes to rust
you will know if you used right thing --cos if it gets on your fingers it will take a week to wear of --so use gloves
don,t be rough on them for a day --lea

alright, i dont have a Citroen nearby but will try to contact them. uuhm the clips i show in this image

the fender it sels has like 2 pins that should go in the 2 holes on the clip u can see on the image. how am i able to glue this back on with that tiny work space?

u mean citroen will provide new and better clips to replace those white clips seen in this image?

Vintooje,

Google is your friend, find your local dealer, tell them you want the clips to hold the arch panels on, they will know what you mean. Same for sideskirt clips.

For the dipstick either just acquire one from a breakers and job done!
The clips just locate it, with the other clips and a proper bit of tiger seal on it should be fine!
