Source for decent replacement interior panel clips?
 
Does anyone have a source for decent replacement plastic clips like those used to hold the inner door panel on? The dorman ones are terrible! Half of the ones I tried to use snapped off when trying to push them into the holes. They're the correct size and shape, but they're too hard and brittle.

I re-used as many of the stock ones as I could but I'm still coming up about a dozen short.. Any ideas?

I had same issue - it's because they sit on the shelf at autoparts store and the UV from the flourescent lights kills the plastic. I bough the only two packages they had, threw them in the trash, and next week bought the new ones they restocked - cost me double and had to wait a week, but solved the problem.

I could see that happening, who knows how long they sit on shelves. I did buy two packages at two different times thinking maybe I just got a bad one, but had the same results.

I just ordered some from the northland fasteners link, they list one specifically for the 82+ Camaro/Firebird that is supposedly different from the rest. They also had some other clips that I couldn't find anywhere for re-attaching the upper part of the A-pillar trim so I got those too, lots of good stuff there :thumbsup:

Glad you found them. I ordered lots of parts there when I was putting my car back together.
