clips for the interior plastics

So I have those big plastic screws/bolts all over my trunk space because the clips are either missing or broken. Anyone know where to find these or am I going to have to find someone parting their interior or go to the salvage yard?

Autozone has them! I found them and was surprised. They only have the black screws though.

Re: clips for the interior plastics

well I have most of the nuts I just need the clips. I found someone that sells packs of 6 clips for $5 on ebay (not counting shipping) and he has like 60 something packs in stock so I may order like 3 or 4 just to have spares for the future.

Re: clips for the interior plastics

I got the nuts from my 89 parts car. They were not brittle at all unlike those on my 84, maybe they were made from a stronger plastic on later years. So junkyards can be a good source too (if you get a part there, get the nuts in the same time).
