Daptemn Car Door Lock Rod Clips Kit 160PCS — Assorted Retainer Clips in Labeled Case for DIY & Pro Repairs

Daptemn 160PCS Car Door Lock Rod Clips is a complete assortment of 16 different door-rod and lock-cylinder retainer clips designed to repair or replace worn linkage clips on many older vehicles.

This kit gathers a wide range of commonly used door rod clips, cylinder retainers and latch push clips in one compact case so you can quickly match and replace broken parts during DIY repairs or professional maintenance. The clips are made from durable materials, packaged with clear compartmenting, and labeled for easy selection—helping you restore secure connections between door handles, locks and latches on many domestic and import models.

Which vehicle makes and models will these clips work with?

The assortment covers many classic and late-model domestic vehicles plus some imports, matching numerous OEM numbers commonly used between the 1980s and 2000s. It includes styles that correspond to Ford F-series cylinder retainers, GM door rod clips and various Chrysler/AMC variants, so it’s useful for older cars and light trucks.

• Fits many Ford models (F150, F250, F350, F450) with listed retainer numbers
• Includes GM-compatible clips (e.g., replacements for 16627328 and related numbers)
• Contains Chrysler/AMC-style clips and Auveco equivalents for interchangeability
• Good for vehicles from approximately 1980s–2008 based on listed OEM cross-references

How do I identify the right clip from the kit?

Start by comparing the broken clip to the shapes in the kit: snap-type rods, push retainers and U-shaped cylinder clips are visually distinct. Use the compartment layout and the included size references to match diameter, opening style and retention method before removing the old part.

• Compare clip shape and opening mechanism visually
• Measure rod diameter or match OEM number where available
• Test-fit a sample clip in the linkage before full installation
• Keep unused clips sorted by compartment for future repairs

What tools and steps are needed for installation?

Most replacements are straightforward and require only basic hand tools: pliers, a flat screwdriver and possibly a trim tool to access the linkage. Remove the damaged clip, position the new clip onto the rod and compress or snap it into place; specific clips may require slight adjustment to seat fully.

• Common tools: needle-nose pliers, flat screwdriver, small pick or trim tool
• Remove interior panel or access point to reach linkage if necessary
• Replace clip, ensuring the rod seats securely and moves freely
• Test lock/handle operation after installation to verify fit

Are these clips durable and suitable for repeat repairs?

The components are produced from resilient plastics engineered for repeated use in door and latch mechanisms, providing long service life under normal conditions. Because this kit supplies many sizes and styles, it reduces future downtime—keep extras on hand for routine maintenance or emergency roadside fixes.

• Made from high-quality plastics meant for automotive linkages
• 160 pieces reduce the need to source single OEM parts
• Organized case keeps spare clips at hand for quick repairs
• Good choice for garages, fleet maintenance, and DIYers
