I need all sorts of body/panel clips. The rear sections are made up of 2 different plastic pieces and I need both. The pine tree piece isn't so hard to locate but the other plastic piece is. I broke most of mine because they're so cheap.
Most importantly I need the clips that hold up the a-pilar. They are pretty big and I broke a few getting them out and only have 2 good ones out of 6. Please PLEASE help me locate a dealer. I tried my local dealers but they are all jerks and they don't like working on anything older than 3 years lol. That's the downside on living around Rich Princeton, everybody drives a brand new car and it's usually an import with no taste. I have yet to see a supra, M3 or M5 and if I see one more silver Jetta 1.8T I'm going to go nuts. I think the VW bug accounts for the other 50% of VW cars around here.
HELP HELP HELP, my hoodliner is starting to fall apart on the corners because the pilars aren't holding up with only 1 broken clip!

Go to you local auto paint supplier, usually they carry most of all the types of fasteners & clips and at alot cheaper price then paying $1.99-$5.99 for 2 or 3 from autozone or others like that.

Also, if you can't find clips similar to the ones holding up the pillar trim pieces, just so you know, I'm using the round ones with the barbed rows instead with much success. They're similar to the ones that hold the door panels on.

I'm gonna check on deadbird's suggestion though, because I'd like a cheaper source of those.

 

I went to a junkyard and ripped a bunch of those things out and stuffed em in my pocket!

 

Check the HELP section of a good auto parts store such as Pep Boys. Otherwise Pick-A-Part has worked for me as well (my socks were kind'a lumpy though).

for those square ones the "tree-like" ones go into and the plastic screws screw into, just go to your local GM parts dealer, they can get them, $5 for a 5 pack, I think the interior takes 10 of those, and the GM ones are much more flexible than any aftermarket ones.

 

I tried all the parts stores but they only sell the tree style. I'm really looking for GM pieces and I NEED those plastic female pieces that attach to the body. Some have threads because you screw the nylon screws in but some are made for the body tree clips. I broke most of mine because it was really cold out and plastic like that hates the cold. I should have known better....I play lacrosse and every winter I've broken at least one stick.
I'll just try a local dealer, too bad they're a 20 minute drive any which way I go. That's 40 wasted minutes for some small worthless (to most) pieces of plastic .
