Subject:      Interior door fastening clips issue
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi Everybody:

I am about to fix the "worlds slowest rear-wiper", and to do this I have to remove the textured interior panel on the hatch. There are what seem like 15 or so "button-shaped" items that look like they function as clips to hold the panel in place. They are also prevalent throughout the vehicle, especially on the interior of the sliding door, etc.

However, I suspect they may be designed to be one-time-use items, and are likely to break.

Is there are ready REASONABLE priced replacement source for these items? My FLAPS wants over $3.00 EACH for them. My interior is that beige or light tan color, the clips should match, or it will look weird.

BTW, my wifes wheelchair has really messed up the sliding door panel on the inside. Is there a ready source for replacing these panels, or do I have to fabricate one myself (should be easy)?

Cheers!
