Alright when I bought my 91 camaro the PO decided it would be a good idea to rip off the plastic covering that runs upwards on the inside of the front window and then runs towards the back of the car by the top of the driver door there is one on each side and they busted the plastic clips on the inside and ive looked everywhere trying to find them and i have yet to find ones that fit


ty for any help

 

Dealership. They aren't cheap. Do a search if you need pics or the part number.

 

For those little plastic clips? and i still got one thats intact also i know this in the interior forums but do you know if you can order front ground effects and the rear bumper?

 

They were about $2 each in 1997. For a hardtop there are 10 clips, so $20... For clips.

You'd have to check, I'd probably find good used examples of those parts at the salvage yard.

 

Yea thats what sucks about where I live 3rd gens up here are pretty rare at the places I've checked so far and if there is one its been picked over

just go to a junkyard, and get a five fingered discount

 

i bought mine at an upholstery shop. they were pricey. i think about 2-3 each. i call them alligator clips.

Also check the Dorman/HELP section at your local big box parts store
or online. They have most of those GM interior clips.

 

That's what I did I needed the **** for the ac/heater and the guy wanted to sell me the whole thing....I ended up just taking it along with some of the plastic screws.... To make myself feel better, I convinced myself that he had overcharged me for a mirror and glass that I bought.

As for the clips, I'd would say go check your local junk yards first or post on the "WTB" section.

 

Some people can remove trim panels without damaging clips. Not me. Looks like GM designed them to be a one time install time saver for workers. I bought replacement "christmas tree" and "a clips" at local GM dealer. Autopart stores seem to only carry replacement christmas tree connectors. I have seen some online thirdgen stores and people on ebay selling packs of connectors. A lot cheaper than going to dealership.

 

Aren't there special tools that help remove the clips?
