The term "lantern" didn't come up on a search, so apologies if this has been answered and I missed it. I have a WA kit to install on my 110, and am tryign to pre-emptively pick up some replacement clips (because we all know what happens).

PowerfulUK has a video of the pretty simple install here, but he mentions these clips that he calls "lantern" clips, and I can't seem to find a part # for them:


They are around the 4:30 mark. Does anyone happen to have a part # for these? Thanks!

 

The OEM arches come with all the clips in place and ready to go. You won’t need anything extra.

you will get loads of extra clips when you yank off the original arches. Keep them for future use. The circular ones are sacrificial and will break.

don’t even try preserving them. No point and you won’t be successful.

just rip them off. It’s very satisfying.

 

Yeah, not my first rodeo with this type of thing, which is why I want pre-emptive clips, haha.

I have an aftermarket set and just want to have some circulars on hand just in case.

 

Are they these ones?

 

Other option is to get up underneath the wheel well liner and finagle out the circular clips from the inside. Doable albeit very fiddly.

i used these for the external rocker trim I reused in my slider installation

might be the same on the wheel arches. I think it is but not sure.

 

I bought 3 different potential types via Prime, so I'll report back after I do the install which one was the magic.

 

Others have posted about using a small spray bottle filled with 50/50 soap and water solution. After spraying the solution in, around and behind the clips and their receiver, it seems to let the clip wiggle out a little easier than the dry fit.
