Trim Drive Fastener for securing interior trim to the body structure.

This is a blind, drive-in fastener used where trim must be retained from the front face only, with no access behind the panel. The body is pushed through the trim material into a pre-drilled aperture and the centre pin is then driven home, expanding the shank behind the panel and locking the fastener in place.

It is used at carpet and headlining fixing points, where a conventional nut and bolt cannot be reached and a clamped, non-marking fixing is required.

The fastener is consumable: the shank commonly splits or loses its grip when trim is disturbed, so replacements are usually required whenever interior panels or carpets are lifted.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC3938LDE trim drive fastener used for?
The RTC3938LDE is an interior trim drive fastener that secures carpet and headlining panels. On the Defender it holds the front floor carpet and the intermediate floor carpet on the 110. On the Range Rover Classic it retains the headlining on sunroof cars.
How many trim drive fasteners do I need?
Trim fasteners like the RTC3938LDE are typically fitted in multiples along a carpet or headlining edge, so most jobs need several. It's sold individually, so count the original fixings on your Defender or Range Rover Classic before ordering.
Which vehicles does the RTC3938LDE fit?
The RTC3938LDE fits the Defender 1987-2006 (front floor carpet to VIN WA159806, plus intermediate floor carpet on the 110) and the Range Rover Classic 1986-1991 headlining with sunroof (to VIN HA610293). Check your VIN against these breaks before ordering.
Can these trim fasteners be reused?
Trim drive fasteners are typically single-use, since the plastic legs often distort or snap when the panel is pried off. Fit new RTC3938LDE fasteners when refitting Defender carpet or Range Rover Classic headlining to keep the trim secure.
