I've sometimes had to take out various of the interior panels on my '90 convertible. No matter how careful I am, sometimes I break the little push-in fasteners which hold in things like the kick panels, or the inside skins in the trunk. They're 36 years old and plastic is getting brittle

There are at least 3 varieties; one with a 20mm head and 7mm serrated shank, one with a 10mm head and the same shank, and one with a small plastic insert, which you push in flush to lock, and push in a little more to unlock.

Does anybody know the part numbers for those things? I couldn't find them in the parts manual. Or if anybody has a good source for replacements which will work, that would be appreciated. I got a box of assorted fasteners, and some of them sort of fit, but they're not great.

Hints appreciated.

I bought just a few of all the ones linked above. Ive found some success with these in the interior.

 

Huh. Yeah, they look similar to at least some of the stock ones. But sheesh, 7 bucks apiece?? I better not break too many more . . .

 

I've had great luck here:

Some will be exactly what you're looking for, others will be close enough.

 

Its not per piece. The price listed is for a pack of 10.

Confirmed via email.

 

ive had good luck by just putting Mazda's part number into teh googles. if it doesn't come up with something directly, there is usually a picture with measurements

 

I figured on doing just that, but per post 1, I can't figure out where to find the part numbers for those fasteners. Hints?

 

oh, kick panel is here, H, which is S049-68-865-00 (in black) blue is S049-68-865-48

the trunk is here, and pic is more challenging https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-c...interior/6860A

seems like Mazda has everything, which is nice, i'd still see if you can find something easier/closer

 

Ah, thank you, that's super helpful!

You're right, those pics are hard to parse, but with part numbers in hand I stand a chance of finding cross references. Or even order the from Mazda.

How did you find that web site?

 

If you NEED to find the stock fasteners for a stock restoration, or just because, like I did.

Be prepared to pay crazy high prices for them.

My solution is to try Riggs parts from Canada. I got the scarce parts I needed but at a steep price!

Try to source these hard to find stock parts on this forum. I just had a very positive response looking for a clip I was missing!

 

Ok, I'll give them a look.

I'm not trying to make a dead-on restoration. I would like them to look right, wherever possible.
