373 Piece GM XMas Tree Push Retainer Assortment
373 GM "Christmas tree" push retainers in a pre-packaged assortment covering the tapered ribbed clip sizes used throughout General Motors vehicles for carpet, headliner, and interior panel attachment. Christmas tree retainers are named for their stepped, tapered profile — the ribs compress on insertion and expand to lock the clip in place, making them fast to install and resistant to vibration-induced backing out.
What's Included
- GM Christmas tree push retainers — tapered ribbed push-in clips in multiple stem diameters and head sizes
- Covers the sizes used for carpet retention, headliner mounting, and interior panel attachment across common GM models
- 373 pieces total
Specifications

Best For
- GM-focused service and body shops — carpet pulls, headliner replacements, and interior panel work on GM vehicles use Christmas tree retainers extensively; a stocked assortment means the job doesn't stall waiting on clips
- Fleet maintenance operations — commercial GM fleets (Silverado, Express van, Suburban) regularly need interior carpet and panel clip replacement after equipment installation and removal
- Restoration and reconditioning shops — original Christmas tree retainers become brittle with age and often break during teardown; this assortment covers the sizes needed for GM interior restoration
- Upholstery and auto trim shops — carpet installation and headliner replacement on GM vehicles requires a large number of Christmas tree clips in a range of sizes
Understanding Christmas Tree Retainers
Christmas tree retainers (also called fir tree clips or barbed push-in retainers) get their name from their profile: a tapered stem with multiple angled ribs that resemble the outline of a Christmas tree. Unlike smooth-stem push retainers that use an expanding head to lock in place, Christmas tree retainers use the ribs themselves — each one flexes inward on insertion and springs back against the hole wall to resist pull-out.
They're most common in applications where the clip passes through a soft material (carpet padding, foam-backed headliner material) and anchors into a sheet metal hole behind it. Common GM applications include:
- Floor carpet — securing carpet edges and center console area carpet to the body floor
- Headliner — attaching headliner panels and overhead console surrounds to the roof structure
- Kick panels and lower interior trim — retaining lower A-pillar and rocker trim panels
When replacing a Christmas tree retainer, the critical dimension is the hole diameter in the sheet metal panel — the retainer stem must match the hole size to lock correctly. Need help sizing? Contact us.
