Unity xg-100p Belt Clip Installation Help?

[BigMuskie]

Hey all! First off, thank you for the wealth of information everyone has shared. After a ton of research I bit the bullet and bought a xg 100p. Finding the parts I needed was a chore. But I finally found everything I need.

Almost.

I've purchased three different belt clips. All ads have said they fit my radio. None of them have. There is a channel on the back of the radio that clearly accepts a corresponding clip. Every clip has the metal bracket that should fit in those channels. But they are all too wide. I'll try to attach a picture to illustrate the problem. This can't be that complicated lol! Slide the clip in till it locks in place.

Does anyone have any advice or experience with this? I'd be pulling my hair out if I had any!

The clip just slides in from the bottom. Here is one that is started but not pushed all the way in.

Thank you! Mine looks nothing like that. The flanges that SHOULD slide into those grooves are way too wildly spaced and the metal they're made from is much thinner. Now that I look at it, the bracket is too big and wouldn't allow the battery to be installed even if it did fit in the grooves. That's disappointing because the company I ordered from seems well regarded and I really like the metal construction of the clip. Thanks again for your reply.

Sounds like you have a wrong clip or maybe one that snaps onto a specific brand of battery. The clip in my picture is the only one I've seen for the 100P.

It's definitely the wrong clip. It is exactly like the other two I bought that said they were for the 100p. I emailed the business I bought it from. They haven't done a great job with speed and responsiveness. So hopefully they'll get back to me in the next seven to ten business years.

I appreciate you sending the picture. At least now I know I'm not as dumb as I was starting to suspect I was
