Door Panel Sill clips

I’m fixing up my interior door panels and I noticed along the top where it meets the window there are two special clips on each door. They’re threaded I believe m4x0.7 on the side that goes into the door panel and they’re push ins on the side that goes into the door. All of mine are broken so my door panel is very loose at the top. Does anyone know where I can find these or the part #. I saw another post about someone asking about the same thing but it seems no one ever answered. I’d like the chance to just buy them before I start fabricating. I’m also looking for the metal retaining clips that hood the interior plastic piece around the shifter boot

Ray Crowe is going to be your best bet.
Or used here on the forum.

Not familiar with which clips you are referring to. Could you post a picture?
There are three metal hangers that have a plastic spike (which usually breaks off.).

They all broke I could post what’s left but it’s not much. Here’s a photo of them on a listing of some door panels circled in red.

Probably those are an integral part of the door and not purchase-able separately. Perhaps try to find someone with scrap door cards and remove from them.

Or fashion yourself and JB Weld in place. (Cut up a tin can.)

Those clips are usually a big source of rattles and buzzing, as the original insulting foam disintegrates away over time.

Often the best place to look for those is under the armrest or on the floor under the seat. That's where they go when they get yanked of.

Atkins used to stock.

You could try searching on this site.

Yeah I got the part number from Ray. They’re discontinued. Looks like I’ll have to fabricate some. I wish I could see what they looked like originally though. All of mine are broken so I have nothing to go off of.
