I'm posting this here becuase it's FD-specific and does not relate to "interior mods" so that's why it's not in the interior/exterior/audio section.

I would like to install my door panels but the white plastic pins that are located near the top (underneath the top of the panel) are all either missing or broken. From what I can see, I think there is supposed to be a metal square with a white pin poking through it, and the square is bonded to the foam. Has anyone successfully replaced any of these pins with something else? I have a few ideas on how to replace them but I wanted to see what other people have done.

Thanks for any tips. I tried to search but it was an odd topic to try to find something on.

if your talking about the white push type fasteners that "pop" in your in luck. call ray i just ordered some they are 30 cents each! theres 3 per door. just get 6 of them so if you ever take off your other pannel you have them already. if this isnt what your talkin about take a picture... im sure i can help you

 

I do need those so thanks for the tip (amazing price btw I would've thought they were around $5/ea).

But I'm actually talking about some pins that are bonded to the panel...I think there are 3 or 4 in a line going along the top edge of the panel (along the belt-line.) I'm just trying to figure out what I should use to re-create these and appropriate adhesive(s) for permanently securing them to the foam.

thanks.

 

Those are the ones. I have a couple in my to-be-installed-someday box.

I think a 2-part epoxy could work well.
