Auveco Body Hardware: A Century of Precision Fastening

When a trim panel rattles, a moulding clip snaps, or a door weatherstrip pulls free, the fix depends entirely on having the right fastener — not just any fastener. That's where Auveco has built its reputation over more than a century. Founded in 1916 as Auto Vehicle Part Co., Auveco started as a manufacturer of trim parts and accessories for horse-drawn carriages and has evolved alongside the automobile ever since. Today, the brand is widely regarded as the definitive authority in the segment — the Auveco catalog is known as "The Encyclopedia of The Automotive Body Hardware Industry," featuring actual-size pictures and complete specifications and dimensions for over 20,000 parts.

What's in Auveco's Body Hardware Lineup?

Browse Body Hardware from Auveco and you'll find an exceptionally broad range of components designed to keep every exterior and interior panel, trim piece, and structural element securely in place. The lineup spans bolts, bumpers, clips & fasteners, door hardware, grommets & nylon nuts, headlamp fasteners & retainers, hole plugs, license plate fasteners, moulding clips, nuts, rivets, screws, shims, and weatherstrips. Within the clips and fasteners family alone, sub-categories include door lock rod clips, snap & curtain fasteners, trim fasteners, seat & upholstery hardware, fir/X-mas tree retainers, push-type retainers, and weatherstrip retainers.

OEM-Matching Fit — By Design

One of the most frustrating aspects of body hardware repair is fitment. Auto body clips are incredibly specific — a Ford push-pin will rarely fit a Honda bumper properly — and Auveco hardware is cross-referenced directly to factory OEM part numbers. Auveco fasteners are manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment (OEM) specifications, using high-quality nylon, POM plastics, and coated steels to ensure they do not become brittle or snap prematurely under UV and engine heat.

Auveco's proprietary system virtually breaks down every new vehicle model and body style, enabling the brand to deliver the newest, most in-demand products — making it a go-to for professional collision shops, dealerships, and serious DIYers alike. Vehicle-specific examples in the body hardware range include Toyota upper quarter trim panel clips, GM trim panel retainers with sealer, and Audi/VW pillar trim clips, among others.
