This is a multi-use trim fastening clip, also used in other interior applications depending on model and configuration.

This expansion rivet is inserted into pre-drilled holes and expands when pushed into place, locking the door sill plate or trim strip securely to the bodywork.

It provides a firm hold while allowing easy installation and removal, making it ideal for trim components that may require periodic servicing or replacement.

Functions & Technical Role
•  Trim fastening: Secures door sill step plates and threshold trims
•  Expansion locking design: Expands inside mounting holes for secure retention
•  Vibration resistance: Prevents movement, rattling, or loosening of trim
•  Non-corrosive material: Plastic construction resists rust and environmental damage
•  OEM precision: Designed to Porsche specifications for correct fit and grip

Fitment / Position on car
•  Fitting position: Interior / body trim
•  Location: Door sill step plates (threshold trims)  / Rocker panel trim strips /  Interior trim panels (various applications)

Trim clips are often overlooked but are critical for maintaining proper fit and finish. Over time, they can:
•  Become brittle or break
•  Lose tension and fail to hold trim securely
•  Be lost during removal or restoration work

A worn or missing rivet can lead to:
•  Loose or rattling sill trims
•  Poor alignment of interior panels
•  Reduced overall finish quality

Replacing with genuine Porsche OE rivets ensures secure trim mounting and preserves the original appearance of the vehicle.
