PMD Seats Retainer clips for plastic part on the back

Dear all!
I'm just in the middle of having a set of PMDs restored with the upholstery kit available from hawk's, rockauto, classic industries ... Seats are more or less done, but I have a problem now:

On the backside of the frontseats is a plastic panel that is fixed to the metallic frame of the seats via 6 retainer clips that look like this:




Now, most of these clips did not survive their removal so I'm in need of a new set of these clips.

Does anyone here know where I can find these?

these clips here (https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...00306&jsn=8842) or here (https://www.ebay.com/itm/232869902246) are NOT the right clips btw.

Re: PMD Seats Retainer clips for plastic part on the back

Hi!

Did you fix you problem mate?

I am in the exact same situation and need those Pins to get this plate attached to my seats.

Further though I only have replica plates, not the original which are just a piece of plastic and from what I found out there should some metallic clips be attached to the plate, where then those Pins go in. Is that right?

If so, do you maybe know where I can get those metallic clips from?

Do you by any chance maybe have some pictures of the clips and/or the whole mounting „mechanism“?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance,
Thomas

Nope, this is incorrect. These clips are not the correct ones for mounting the original PMD seat plastic back panel.
Please refer to my post above, the part number is 3065575

Re: PMD Seats Retainer clips for plastic part on the back

Hello,

Did you rebuild the back cover mounting brackets on the back cover?

I’ve been looking for days but cannot find them…
