First off what trim of FB? Power Windows? Manual? Cloth interior? Leather?

Second, junkyards are your best bet for them, I don't think dealerships have them anymore. Try the For Sale sections and probably you're best bet would be to make new ones... if you search around you will find a couple threads that have dealt with this issue.

(And yes, I'm back !^@&#&* !!!

You can make your own easily enough, working from just the metal topframe from a boneyard panel. Fiberboard or high-density waterproof paperboard, a dremel, some pop rivets, and presto.

Scrounge or buy the snaps.
