Mazda push pins are imposible to find
I've been on the prowl for those little darts that hold the interior trim together. I don't know where you can buy them at. I'd hate to go to the junkyard in search of those little darts only to break half of them. I've been to NAPA - Advance - and a local place that carrys only body parts. The closest thing I found was a GM push pin that fit in, but I couldn't "lock it" by pressing down on the top tab.
Does anyone know the offical name of these things or where to find them (minus the dealer)?
Thanks!

I've gotten handfuls from the junkyard. Just hit up late '90s Mazdas - they use TONS of them in most cars. Most of the ones I got were in perfect shape, too. Best part they were free from the pick and pull .
The other good junkyard freebie are the plastic covers that go over the screws that hold the panel under the windshield wipers. 626's use the exact same covers - I grabbed a handful and got my car all good.

I'll probably check out the junkyard and fill a 5 gallon bucket so I never need to find another one ever again!

You guys are killing me. Why would you want to buy over priced clips direct from Mazda?
Anyhow interior clips are easily purchased in bulk.

etc etc.. Just order a catalog if you are in need of various different pieces.

Just so you know, none of those are correct. They are all for different vehicles (and no, they are not all the same). They can be used, if you like having a ghetto RX-7. Also, it looks as if they only come in black. Some cars have tan interior and some have red interior.

Oh and you think THAT'S ****, you ain't seen NOTHING yet. I know ppl who refuse to buy ANYTHING used. It's gotta be 100% brand spankin new. If one peice is SLIGHTLY faded, they gotta buy the entire peice BRAND NEW. And my hat's off to them for keeping their cars so incredibly pristine. You'd think the car was just driven off the showroom floor...

OK, I'm really not concerned that my car has OEM replacement push pins. However, I am concerned that the push pins fit correctly. The POS GM pins I bought at Advance fit in, but I can't "push the top part down to 'lock' it". So how do you know that these pins the correct diameter for the FD? If anyone can find out I'm going to buy about 4 boxes of them.

Okay, "eBay" performance parts are one thing... cuz the quality probably sucks...
but PUSH PINS? Seriously... if you sat in a car with OEM pins... & I then replaced the OEM pins with generics... you wouldn't notice it unless you were some pyscho who looks for that sort of thing... & NOBODY will get in your car & think "this thing is perfect... except for the generic push pins"... I figured people had better uses for their time & money than hunting down OEM push pins... but that's just me...
