Hidden clips question

3.9mm
I got 3.6 mm ply from travis Perkins, and the hidden fixings from Harrison’s Trim Supplies work a treat. Redone all of my panels including the tailgate in this manner.
Well worth doing in hidden clips imo. Had previously paid for it to be lined out and they covered the original hardboard and then screwed it back on. I ripped it all out a couple of weeks ago as I could always see the little slits in the carpet where the screws were located. Way happier with the finish I have now achieved.

@DaveyB Do you find it any quieter with ply panels rather than the originals?
Sorry @RussGT6 because it is insulated and sound deadened couldn’t tell you either way. They are roughly the same thickness as the original hardboard items, but i’m hoping will be a tad stronger, since I did damage the original tailgate board.
I used a combination of hidden clips around the edges, supplemented with a couple of screws screwed into the central beam across the roof. I then used screwcovers over the screw heads. It does mean that you don’t end up with a “clean” roof liner, but at least you know it’s not going anywhere.
I found the 2 roof liners much harder to fit than the side panels.

@Absolut5 use 6mm and hidden clips. They have a special way of doing I'm sure. 
Did you just draw around the original hardboard? and cut the plywood then?

What are they called the roof clips that keep both roof panels in?there shaped like T
How did you do? Im literally doing mine exactly the same, I've put suede over roof panels but havent yet piered the holes for clips? Any advice?

I got my hidden trim clips today from transporter HQ and on 3.6mm ply panels with what seem to be 8mm dia holes I can’t seem to get the damn things to twist through. Is there a knack the inserting them? Bigger hole diameter?
I know from when I was doing mine there are 2 sizes if hidden clips. The ones from Harrison’s use the same sized holes as the OEM panels. The ones from MVM use smaller diameter holes. I got some slightly different ones from another place that ripped my fingers to bits trying to get them to fit.
