Washer Clips That Attach the Inner Door Panel Top Rails to Door panel?

So when taking apart the OLD ones of these from the door panels, there were little round washer clips used to keep this item attached to the door panel... They were hard to get off... when I got to the other door, they were totally gone, someone had rigged it...
I have new inner door rails, but no new round washer clips... anyone know where to get some ???


Thanks,
Raf

I used rivets to attach the door panel to top rail because the plastic "nibs"
were too short to be re-melted over washers holding door panel.

The rivets will be hidden by door top rail when installed so you wont see them.

Thanks all for your help, that looks like the right part...
I bought some GM top rails years ago, they are currently in FL with my car and I'm in WA state...
So I'm not sure even how many I need, maybe 5 - 8 per door?
