 Subject: Rear Panel Trim Clips/Retainers
IP: Logged
Message:
Does anyone know where to buy (online) the plastic trim clips/retainers that hold the rear side panels to the truck, 00 CC Dak. Mine are yellow and 1 1/2" long, I have also heard them called xmas tree retainers. These are the type with 3 circles on top, top circle smaller than the other two. Dodge wants $3.00 a peice for them, give me a break, what are these things worth about $.25.
Looks like GM trim retainers will work in a pinch, but they look alot cheaper and appear to be a 1 time use item. I was surprised that I only broke one of the retainers taking the panels off, all though a couple others have the little flaps missing. Would like to replace all the retainers so I don't have any rattles when it goes back together.
Thanks for the help!

Try NAPA or another aftermarket parts store, they usually have a good selection for a lot cheaper than the dealer. I found door panel clips for my '41 still in stock there for about $.45 each, and those were metal.
I've used the GM ones, and they will work if you don't plan on taking things off more than twice. Those "fish teeth" break off, about half of them each time you rip out the clip.
