Replacing the dead old rear speakers in my '93 Polo, removal was easy enough but there were only 3 clips securing each speaker so I'd like to get some more. However for the life of me I can't find the right name for the bloomin things - it seems that almost everyone installs car speakers using self-tappers and spire clips whereas here we have 4 plastic posts moulded into the rear speaker housings that you slip these little Z-shaped clips over to secure the speaker. I've tried searches for about an hour using a slew of different search terms but just can't get the right word for them!

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'd rather not butcher the original speaker housing to screw in these new speakers if I can help it, like to keep things as original as possible.

Interesting - these look nothing like the ones that were on previously. These look to me like they cut their own thread into the plastic posts which would be a much better fitting than the old clips. Thanks!

some folk have ran a die up the plastic and used normal nuts....not a bad idea
