The Precision Lockstrip Joint Clip LJC 1158 is a compact, purpose-built fastener that secures and aligns automotive lockstrip joints and trim seams. Designed for use in a wide range of vehicle trim and weatherstrip applications, this clip prevents separation, reduces vibration and water intrusion, and restores factory fit where lockstrips meet. Built from stamped steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, it delivers dependable holding strength and long-term durability while remaining easy to install during restoration or repair work.
Features:
- Universal fit for common lockstrip and trim joint applications on many vehicle models
- Stamped steel construction with corrosion-resistant plating for long-lasting durability
- Secures and aligns lockstrip joints to prevent trim separation, rattles, and leaks
- Compact design allows discreet fastening without altering visible trim appearance
- Easy to install during restoration or replacement of door, window, or body trim
- Ideal for restoring factory fit and function on classic and modern vehicles
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 15-30 minutes (per joint)
Instructions:
- Prepare the area: clean the lockstrip and surrounding channel with a rag to remove dirt, grease, and old adhesive.
- Remove old clip (if present): use a trim tool or pliers to pry out the existing clip carefully without damaging the lockstrip or trim.
- Test-fit the clip: position the LJC 1158 at the joint to ensure proper alignment and orientation with the lockstrip profiles.
- Align and insert: hold the two lockstrip ends together and slide the clip onto the mating profiles, ensuring it fully engages both sides.
- Seat the clip: use needle-nose pliers to squeeze any tabs if required, or tap gently with a rubber mallet to fully seat the clip into place.
- Check fitment: verify the trim sits flush and the joint is secure; adjust or re-seat the clip if necessary.
- Repeat as needed: install additional clips at recommended intervals along the joint for uniform support and vibration control.
