Dorman Body Hardware
Dorman Body Hardware: The Trusted Name in OE-Quality Fasteners
When a body panel rattles, a trim piece won't stay put, or a fastener snaps during a repair job, the culprit is almost always a small but critical piece of body hardware. Dorman has built its reputation over more than a century by making exactly these kinds of components — reliable, properly engineered replacements that professional technicians and DIYers alike can count on to get the job done right the first time.
Dorman gives repair professionals and vehicle owners greater freedom to fix cars and trucks, and for over 100 years has been an automotive aftermarket pioneer, releasing tens of thousands of replacement products engineered to save time and money and increase convenience and reliability. That same philosophy applies squarely to their body hardware lineup.
Body Retainer Tech Trays: Organized, Efficient, Ready to Go
Dorman's flagship offering in the body hardware category is their Body Retainer Tech Tray assortment. The Body Hardware Assortment Kit contains the most popular body retainers in a variety of sizes, and each piece features a durable nylon design for long service life. Whether you are working on metric fasteners for European and Japanese vehicles or standard retainers for domestic trucks, Dorman has vehicle-specific kits tailored to make the job easier.
The tray is lightweight and convenient to transport between home and work, or from job to job — a cost-efficient and time-saving alternative to purchasing components separately. For busy shops and enthusiast garages alike, having the right retainer on hand without a trip to the parts store is a genuine productivity boost.
Vehicle-Specific Coverage That Sets Dorman Apart
Dorman was a pioneer in replacement car and truck body parts and today leads the aftermarket with the greatest vehicle coverage and the most trusted name. Their body hardware kits span a wide range of makes and models, with dedicated assortments for popular platforms including Honda, Toyota, and many others — so technicians don't have to dig through generic bins hoping to find the right clip.
Dorman engineers design each product to match the fit, style, and function of the OEM part, and a series of tests ensures each component meets their strict standards for quality. When it comes to body hardware, that commitment means retainers and fasteners that hold the first time, every time, rather than cracking, stripping, or popping loose after the first wash.
The OE FIX Philosophy Applied to Body Hardware
Dorman OE FIX parts fix common OEM repair problems to save money, increase reliability, or make repairs easier. Repair professionals and vehicle owners are often frustrated when trying to fix cars and trucks using original equipment — original manufacturers don't always provide parts that minimize cost and installation time, or maximize future reliability and serviceability. That's where Dorman steps in with products that solve these common repair problems. Even in a category as seemingly simple as body hardware, that engineering mindset translates into better materials, smarter sizing assortments, and organizer trays designed to keep a shop running efficiently.
Whether you are a professional body technician restoring a collision-damaged vehicle or a weekend DIYer replacing worn-out door trim fasteners, Dorman's body hardware solutions deliver the precise fitment and durability you need.
