Where to buy plastic body panel tabs?

Where can I get the white plastic tabs that always break and cause you greif when taking off body panels? Do dealerships still sell the application specific one for these cars?

Autozone, Pepboys, etc. They come in a 2 pack IIRC with the plastic screws but they are only made in black.

Actually those were not the tabs I was asking about, but I did find the white tabs I needed at Pep Boys in the Help section.

That is what I was talking about, the plastic screws and the plastic retainers are sold in a package.

I don't know if all Pep Boys across this great nation of ours has a good selection of plastic interior clips and tabs, but the particular one that I went to had a surprising selection of stuff that I needed to get my interior back together. Thanks Manny,Moe and Jack!!!

I just picked up a bag of 50 for $8 including shipping off of ebay. Thought i'd post it up since I know alot of people are looking for these. I needed a bunch since almost all were broken or lost when my door panels were removed.

Apparently they are the same fastener that was used in all gm door panels from 1973-on.
