Interior clips

I'm searching for a specific type of interior clip...

http://i4.aijaa.com/b/00157/13263980.jpg

As you can (hopefully) see, it's flat unlike normal "christmas tree" style clips.

I ordered 2 bags full of clips online but none of them were slim enough to fit in the 5mm holes.
My intention is to attach pillar trims with these instead of those weird plastic rails that make installing pillar trims such a pain.

Re: Interior clips

If you can't find that style, try filing a round one, file two sides flat. I done it before on other types

Excellent site, I already see promising clips

Tried that with a Dremel, but the stem was still too thick even though you can shape the tip however you want.
