Thumbnail Filmstrip of Audi Rocker Panel Molding Clip - 8T0853909A Images
This is a small plastic fastener clip used on the vehicle's exterior. Its main purpose is to attach and securely hold the rocker panel side blades, side skirts, or stone guards (the trim pieces running along the bottom edges of the car between the front and rear wheels) flush against the vehicle's metal body.
Location: Left and right lower exterior sills (underneath the doors).
Important Service Note: Official Audi service documentation states that this part cannot be reused or reinstalled.
If you are removing your side skirts for paint, repair, or to clean out road debris, these clips typically bend, break, or lose their tension and must be replaced with new ones to ensure the trim doesn't sag or fly off at highway speeds.
This clip is primarily used on the Audi B8 platform (spanning roughly 2008–2017 model years).
