Looking for:

Top Clips - should be 20462090
Side "christmas tree" clips - ???

Door Panel
"christmas tree" clips - ???

Thanks,

John

I've got some at junkyards, but they are so brittle they break when you pull them out.

Re: A-Pillar and Door Panel retaining clips / christmas tree part numbers wanted

Are these those white fuzzy looking things with huge heads on them? Half-turn into the panel and then press fit it into a hole to retain the panel?

If so, you can get them at ACE Hardware, unless you're into NOS/original, etc. They're over in the nut and bolt section.

They also carry a lot of the misc panel screws and under hood nuts and bolts.

Re: A-Pillar and Door Panel retaining clips / christmas tree part numbers wanted

went to the GM dealership and got some, they are pontiac 77 and higher years, panel christmas trees, and boy are they expensive. 2.97 for one! I got a guy ive known and bought parts off before and he gave me 15 for 5 bucks, so i lucked out. There are a couple numbers on the box and ill post them all up.

he said he uses this number to find them but he doesnt think its the part number: 2224

And the number i believe is the part number: 3065575

I compared them to the ones i have and they look almost exactly alike, same diameter and length and such.

Re: A-Pillar and Door Panel retaining clips / christmas tree part numbers wanted

Guys I'm aware they sell them at auto stores. Like I said, I've yet to see ones at the stores that actually fit correctly. They usually just break.

Chase,
That part number doesn't show up on gmpartsdirect. It should be an 8 digit part number. Thanks to posting your results. I'll head to the dealer today and see what I can find.

87350IROC, God thanks you for finding that! You saved us all alot of time and money. Thanks

EDIT: Are the retaining clips all the same for the A&B-Pillar trim, Door Panels, Headliner, and the clips that hold some of the hatch plastic?

Re: A-Pillar and Door Panel retaining clips / christmas tree part numbers wanted

Would someone like to compile a list of all the little pieces for our interior?

If someone can be directed to a diagram of all little tabs, screws, pins that are in/out side of our cars I'll find the part numbers and how many are needed. It'd be a nice sticky for interior replacement. Which I see is hard to find stuff.
