1. Fixing of body parts

Push-type expansion core-piercing nails can be used for fixing decorative parts, covering parts, fenders, bumper brackets and other parts inside and outside the body. Especially when the body material (such as metal, plastic, composite materials, etc.) has a certain thickness, the expansion nails can provide a strong fixing force.

Principle: Through the expansion nails expanding and coming into firm contact with the base material during installation, it ensures that these parts are firmly fixed to the car body and withstand the vibration and pressure of the car.

2. Installation of decorative and structural parts inside the car

Inside the car, some non-load-bearing parts, such as interior panels, door panels, instrument panel brackets, door handles, etc., usually need to be installed by expansion nails. Expansion nails can help to secure these parts while avoiding the risk of damaging the substrate, especially when thin-walled materials (such as plastic or thin sheet metal) are used.

3. Fixing of vehicle lights and electrical equipment

Push-in Expanding Core Nails can be used to secure brackets for headlights (e.g., headlights, taillights, etc.), or electrical equipment components inside a vehicle. Expanding spikes provide greater stability for electrical components that need to be secured to plastic or composite materials.

4. Fixing engine components and chassis parts

In the engine compartment or chassis area of some automobiles, Expanding Nails can be used to install parts that need to withstand high temperatures, vibrations or mechanical stresses for long periods of time, such as engine mounts, exhaust supports, heat shields, and so on. The use of Expanding Nails ensures that parts will not loosen under conditions of high temperature or severe vibration, resulting in safety hazards.

5. Door and window frame installation

Uses: Expanding core nails provide effective support in the installation of door or window frames, especially when it comes to the combination of metal and plastic. It connects the different materials together and ensures the stability of the door or window structure.

6. Fixing of plastic or composite parts

Expanding nails can be used for fixing plastic and composite materials, which are increasingly used in modern cars to reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency.

Application: For example, wheel arches, plastic sound insulation panels under the hood, chassis protection panels, etc., can be fixed by propelled expansion core nails, thus ensuring that these parts will not be loosened due to vibration or collision during driving.

7. Shock absorption and noise isolation

Expanding spikes can be used as an effective fixing method in the installation of components that require sound or vibration isolation, avoiding the propagation of noise or vibration caused by installation via screws.

Application: e.g. fixing interior sound insulation materials, vibration damping mats, floor coverings, etc.

8. Vehicle repair and modification

In the process of vehicle repair and modification, push-in expanding core nails can also be used to quickly install or replace some parts. Especially in some cases where the original fixing method is no longer effective, expansion nails provide an alternative.

Principle: By simply inserting and pushing the Expanding Nails, installation problems can be solved quickly, especially for some special automotive restoration tasks.
