Body Panel Clips / Body Cladding Clips - SOLVED

Post by mwandaw »

I opened my door over an area that was higher than the surroundings, and when I closed the door, the body panel pulled away. I need to buy the little clips that hold the panel in place. Unfortunately, it's very hard to find them online, because they're an obscure part, and the drawings online do not clearly show them.

Can anyone give me the part number so I can buy them online? Of course, if you have a good source, or an alternate part, that would be great, too.

Thanks!

I spent quite a bit of time searching, and finally found them at NAPA.


The dealer wants about $4.00 each, and I need nine, for a total of $36.00. NAPA charged $11.00 for 14 of them. Much better!

Much appreciated, the picture was nice too. My son's 07 has a loose lower cladding so these may be the ticket!
