Magnet Plate Attachment
As more and more vehicles have started to use aluminum
in the body, Termax has had to develop an alternate way
for magnets to be attached. In order to allow for the use
of a magnet on aluminum Termax has created a snap in
steel plate to be used as a magnetic surface.

Screwless High Retention Clips
Traditionally high retention clips in the vehicle will have a visible
screw or screw cap cover. To many, the visible screw and screw cap
covers are unsightly. In response to this Termax developed a high
retention clip that provides the high extraction without unwanted
visible dissatisfiers. This was done by creating high retention clip
that would be snapped into a doghouse like a plastic birds beak,
and serviced out of the same feature.

Lock Rod Bezel
This is a plastic sleeve that snaps into the underside of
the beltline of the door onto the actual “Class A” lock
rod bezel. This sleeve Termax created addressed several
issues the “Class A” bezel had on its own:

Improved Retention
The “Class A” bezel by itself is plastic snaps or fins attaching to a plastic
substrate. At times the lock rod would function up and down and pop
the “Class A” bezel out of the door. The “Class B” bezel Termax created
prevents this from occurring.

Improved Lead In
The “Class A” bezel by itself has almost no lead in for the OEM operator
to fish the lock rod through the door trim during installation. The “Class
B” bezel Termax created provides ample lead in for the operators.
