I have only had had my Cali for a few days and have already broken something The clip that holds the folding chair in the back tailgate. Any idea where I can get a replacement? Are they easy to replace ( see photo). Regards, Mike

Mike, I had the same problem. It was broken already when I was taking over my new car. Pretty low quality plastic
My dealer was able to get the spare part second day. I would try to claim it on warranty, you won’t be first I think.

Hi all
I see that this was asked several years ago but I wondered if anyone had actually purchased a replacement retention clip for the folding chair, which is stored in the tailgate on the Cali. Literally the first time I pulled the chair out of the brand new van, just to remove the polythene cover and, well I pulled and the clip broke in half and pinged across the driveway! I didn’t know there was a securing clip as it was covered by the polythene! The van is going back in a month due to a few issues (I’ll list them all later if they are not dealt with, but the service team seem to be happy to sort them all) so I could wait, but I’m going away before that and thought I could sort the clip easy enough myself - if I can buy one! But I cannot find one!! Any ideasy where to purchase it from?

I decided to finally unwrap the picnic chairs on my Nov 24 California Ocean only to find a broken retaining clip, it fell on the ground.
The seats have never been out the van, it's obvious the clip had been broken a long time as you can see the witness marks when the arms have been pressing on the zip cover inside and out.
Warranty issue for me.
If you have a new van it's worth checking yours.
