where the hell to buy these little clips?

i've been looking around and the local parts stores don't have these little clips that are used to hold the interior pieces. where's a place to get them? hopefully not a dealer






here's the pic of the fastener

They aren't that expensive at the dealer, provided you don't need many. I think list price is about a dollar.

i think you can pick them up just about anywhere i know napa and i think maybe even auto zone carries them but i'm not sure i just usually work with what i got as far as those darn clips but if your missing all of them then i suggest looking into those two places.

that's true but don't you only get like 2 of them with the kit? my guess is if he's missing all of them he's going to need atleast 4 and if he's missing more who know's you should be able it just by them in like a pack of 10 or something somewhere.
