New Arrivals: 7 Door Trim, Rocker Panel & Drivetrain Parts for VW, Audi, Mercedes, Cadillac, BMW, Volvo, Maserati & Jeep — MotiveCrate guide cover


We have added seven new aftermarket replacement parts for door sill trim, rocker panel trim, door latch rods, window trim and transfer case linkage. This new group covers popular Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, BMW, Volvo, Maserati and Jeep applications.

Some of these retainers are small, inexpensive parts, but when they fail you often get loose trim, rattles, gaps, a door lock rod that will not stay in place, or a transfer case shifter that feels loose. The key is to match the original part number, model code and mounting location before ordering.

1. Door sill and rocker panel trim clips: VW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Cadillac

Door sill and rocker panel clips hold the lower trim, side skirt and door sill mouldings tight against the body. When the original nylon clip becomes brittle, the trim can lift at the ends, rattle over bumps, or develop visible gaps.

This retainer is used for side sill, rocker-panel and lower body trim applications. The current fitment guide lists VW Passat CC 2008-2017 and Audi Q5 8R 2008-2017. Always compare the original part number and the shape of the old clip before ordering.

2. Door panel, lock rod and window trim clips: BMW, Volvo and Maserati

Interior door and window trim retainers work in a different environment from exterior clips. They need to hold trim panels and lock rods securely while still allowing service access. A broken retainer can cause a loose door panel, a rattling lock rod, or trim that will not sit flush.

51217404345 - BMW Door Latch Rod Clip

This BMW circlip secures the door lock rod to the latch assembly. It is commonly used across selected BMW models, including:

  • BMW 530e, 530i, 540d, 540i and M550i xDrive (G30): 2017-2020
  • BMW M5 (F90): 2018-2020
  • BMW X5 (F15 / G05): 2014-2020
  • BMW X5 M (F85): 2015-2018
  • BMW X6 (F16 / G06): 2015-2020

A worn linkage bushing can cause excessive shifter movement, difficulty engaging the transfer case, or a loose feeling in the 4WD selector. Confirm the transfer case, linkage design and original part number before ordering.

How to choose the correct retainer or bushing

  1. Match the part number first. Vehicle name alone is not enough because the same model can use different clips by year, trim or assembly plant.
  2. Check the model code. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volvo often use chassis codes such as G30, W204, 8R, P2 or SPA. Compare the model code before ordering.
  3. Compare the old part. Look at the locking tabs, rod diameter, hole size, clip length, mounting angle and material colour.
  4. Check the trim location. Door sill, rocker panel, side skirt, window moulding, luggage compartment and door panel locations can use different retainers even on the same vehicle.
  5. Choose the right pack size. Trim clips are commonly sold in multi-piece packs because several clips may break during removal. Check the pack option before adding to cart.

Frequently asked questions

Are these OEM or genuine parts?

No. MotiveCrate sells aftermarket replacement parts. Manufacturer names and part numbers are used only to identify compatibility. MotiveCrate is not affiliated with or endorsed by the vehicle manufacturers named.

Will one clip fit every model listed above?

No. The lists are compatibility guides. Year range, model code, trim level and mounting location can change fitment. Always verify the original part number and compare the old clip or bushing before purchase.

What should I inspect before replacing a trim clip?

Inspect the old clip for cracks, missing locking tabs, deformation and broken retainers. Check whether the trim panel or mounting hole is damaged as well. Replacing a clip will not fix a broken trim panel or a damaged mounting point.

Yes. We supply repair shops, detailers and resellers across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Contact service@motivecrate.com or WhatsApp +1 279-200-4690 for bulk and mixed-part inquiries.
