Hi all.

I am looking for interior panel clips. Specifically, I am looking for the ones that hold the interior sunroof panel to the metal sunroof.

They have two (2) circular skirts, the top skirt being a three-quarter circle to allow for the insertion via twisting into hole in the panel. See pictures of the only one I have remaining.

I tried fabricating these from 2 full circle skirt clips, but after 3-4 months of Texas heat they became brittle and failed.

Any idea where I can get these?

Thanks in advance for all responses.

Here's a good place to start. I see a few that look very similar to yours.

Got out the micrometer and looks the the 1st link is what I am looking for. Maybe you should add this to the stickies?

Great site, thanks for sharing. I've got 20 cars (12 actually run), so I am always breaking panel clips and replacing them with a force-fit from auto-zone or ebay.

Definitely adding this to my vendor reference bookmarks.

Glad to help. I've used that site for parts on several makes and models with hard to find pieces with good results each time.

Always makes my day when I'm introduced to one of these gems of a vendor. Thanks again for helping out.

I added my thanks to the post, that is an awesome source for clips! I was digging around in there a bit also, they seem to have almost everything you'd need. Thanks for posting that MIVet28.
