Help finding new plastic trim connectors/bolts

I'm trying to recover my headboard using some fiberglass resin and carpet (resin smells great btw). To get the headliner out I had to remove the A-pillar trim that extents along top of window and the B-pillar trim panel on back edge of door window. Both panels have some plastic christmas tree looking fastners. Also, the A-pillar panel has some flat plastic fastners that allow the trim panel to slide onto the roof frame. I broke both of these connector types removing the panels. Does anybody know where I can get replacements? I might go ask around at some part stores (NAPA, Carquest, Autozone, etc). I figure they have to be pretty common on Chevy's in the 80's. Thanks!

Re: Help finding new plastic trim connectors/bolts

try the dealer
you would be suprised that the cost is not that high on plastic clips.

Most auto parts stores have a generic clip that can fit several things.

A fastenal store might be another option, but I do not know the extent of their plastic clips.



Resin does smell good, take care of that buzzed little brain cell!

Did you say "carpet"????

The flat clips from the A-pillar can be had at the stealership - $20 for a bag of the right number (thus 'stealership') - I just got a set last week.

The round ones are available at any parts store.
