My car came with these missing so I just bought some, thing is one went in perfectly and the other one didnt. They are identical and from what I can see they need to be left and right and opposite shapes to one another. Can someone please confirm that before I return them? Thanks.

I only ever bought a right hand one Fi and that popped out cos I didnt stick the blighter in..:bang: wouldnt mind betting they are handed tho..anyone else confirm it..

My sons car didnt have any either so we now both have a 'right' one lol.

Take it its a 3dr.:yuck:

No 7 Fi shows one clip but they must be handed cos the string thingy wouldnt fit on tuther side if its one clip..shows two part numbers for the clips..

Edit string goes to pacel shelf..takes whip to meself..lol

I believe that they're universal. Atleast they seem to be in my 5-door iirc.

Are yours both 3-door Fee??

Not sure if that'd make a difference?

Thanks guys, yes they are both three doors and the clips slide in perfectly on the right (drivers) side on both cars but if you look at the shape of the clip there is no way its going to fit the left.

Do what i did and remove the parcel shelf and supporting trim. :devil:

So everyone can see what you have in the boot? That wouldnt work for me, we often use the little 'ski door' or whatever they call it, to stash valuables in the boot while we are out. Unless of course you have filled it with arena sized speakers????

Thats what blacked out windows are for. :devil:


I dont have lots of epicly sized speakers in the boot but i certainly dont need little skallywags seeing what i do have in there.
I would imagine it would end up looking more like this

I say what, if I were to do that to my Stilo I'd have had a massive LPG tank installed by now. Have a massive range on it, better than the 250-350mile at the mo

Oh, and a spare wheel

Volxstu that is a stunning looking car, I love the rich colour reminds me of my favourite lipstick. Very impressive

The clips are different for right and left. In Phil's link to ePER above:

http://eper.fiatforum.com/eper/navi?...OD=0&DRW_NUM=5

It shows two part numbers for item 7, i.e.

71719952 DS = Destro, Italian for Right.
71719953 SN = Sinistro, Italian for Left.

It looks like a different setup for the 5 door saloon version. I suspect the parcel shelf support clips are item 8 in this diagram.

71718754 for right.
71718755 for left.

My 3dr didn't have any retaining clips either, so I got 2 of these...

Yes this is the same seller I got mine from, the mix up was my fault, I assumed they would be the same and just ordered two. I didnt notice that it says 'rh' at the end of the listing. But we have two Stilos anyway so now I just need to order two 'lh' and both cars will be sorted. No issues with the seller at all.

Why pay £4.99 each for them from an eBay seller when Fiat price for them is £1.80?

Fiat have a very strange pricing policy for spare parts, but it's always worth checking them first.

As an example - Years ago, I bought a slave cylinder repair kit from Fiat for my old Croma Turbo for £22. When I dismantled the cylinder to fit it, the bore was scratched so I need a new complete cylinder. That was only £18.

More recently, I needed a headlamp washer pump for the Stilo. I don't remember the price for the pump, but the price for a complete new washer bottle including headlamp washer pump, windscreen washer pump and new tubing was only £3 more.

Thanks for the tip Davren, I will get the two left ones from Fiat and check them first in future.
