vitessear3 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago My E46 convertible's OEM door card clips won't stay in place; they constantly falling out from the bottom. There are no cables or other interference issues, as far as I can see. Will the door holes enlarge with time? Can somebody suggest any clips that are more robust? Thank you in advance for any assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWILB Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago That's strange. Given the plastic clips and metal door panel, I don't see the holes expanding. Is each and every one of the door card's clips securely fastened? They should all be present to "help" one another, in my opinion. By the way, are each of the clips perfectly aligned with its corresponding hole? Passing it by and folding back is a breeze. Have you upgraded your speakers or installed soundproofing material around their rear? That's the only other thing that comes to mind. My bottom clips stopped positively clipping home after I tried it. The insecurity of the door card was much more frustrating than having to remove the deadening material. Wishing you all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NevoBMW320i Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Are you hitting them with sufficient force? Never encountered that issue in more than half a century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
