Replacement Clips?

Might have been a topic previously discussed, but im unsure of it seeing as I am unsure of what topic to search under...

I was wondering if there are any replacement clips that hold the panels that are above the door and down the A-Pillar up...i made the mistake of trying to take them out when replacing my headliner and now it looks like crap. The headliner is in and everything is up, but right now the panels are held on by what they can, so they have a decent sized gap between the headliner.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks.

ohh yeah they are just a regular push in style retainer, you can probably go to a dealer and buy a pack of them, usually come in 10packs and that shoul be enough to do both sides, just take one of the old clips in with you and show them what you need.

And they just popped into place without breaking? lol So pretty much you just gotta be careful with them.
