Tiny brackets that hold the rear carpet retainer

Honest Walt · Dec 21, 2014

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to get these brackets? There are 5 of them I think and they go across the back of the boot floor just inside the lip for the door seal. They are about 1" x .5" x .5" and have a square hole in the top. A round plastic thingy goes in the hole and takes the screw that holds the carpet retainer.

I had to repair the rear body cross member and, as always, I have had to take out more than I hoped. I don't know what these little bits are called and I can't find them anywhere.

I would really like to know part numbers, names, suppliers etc. if it is possible to get them.

Many thanks,

Jack

Thanks for the replies.

a_w_p - I'll try to get a pic in the daylight if I can find one I've not destroyed.

Jamesmartin - I guessed they may not be available. My problem is drilling square holes - I'll have to get the file out!

Chrisw8 - that's the round plastic thingy that goes in the square hole of the bits I need. Thanks though as I need those too.

I know the ones you mean. They've got the nylon type screw housing in them, right?

When I had my boot floor replaced, the guy that did it forgot to cut them off the old one and weld them onto the new one, so I lost all mine.
Tried looking for replacements but they simply don't appear to exist.

I simply didn't put the carpet strip back in, as it's one less water trap...

Never used a square hole cutter then, they come in all sizes, so no need for a file.

Hopefully I've attached a pic of the little buggers.

It looks like I'll be trying to make some.

Oh, those!

Make 'em. Do away with the nylon and make the bracket the same height as the top of the nylon.
