Dorman 963-151D Fender Liner Retainer

Dorman 963-151D is a black plastic push-type fender liner retainer built to match the function and versatility of the original equipment fastener.

Key Features

• Push-type retainer for fender liner and body panel attachment
• Plastic construction with a natural finish and black color
• OE-style function for secure panel retention
• Compact dimensions for common body hardware applications
• Direct-fit replacement for select Saturn and Mercury vehicles
• Part number 963-151D for easy identification

Detailed Description

This Dorman fender liner retainer is made from quality materials to deliver the same basic holding function as the original fastener. The push-type design helps secure wheelhouse liners and related body trim where a small, durable retainer is required. With OE-style sizing and a simple plastic construction, Dorman 963-151D supports clean panel attachment on vehicles such as the Saturn Ion, Saturn Vue, Saturn L-series, Saturn SC/SL/SW models, and Mercury Marauder.

Its listed dimensions include a 0.79 head diameter, 0.27 inside diameter, 0.35 outside diameter, 0.35 shaft diameter, 0.28 center groove diameter, 0.08 thickness, 0.9 in fastener length, and 1.03 in overall length. This makes 963-151D a useful body hardware replacement when the original retainer is cracked, loose, or no longer holds the liner securely.

This part cross-references Gates 23385 for the same application.
