Default Need Help!!! Can't find interior push pins; Dealer can't find either

Hey guys!

So, I'm selling my Dakota, after 190k care-free miles, and 11 years. I love the truck, but I have a baby now, and the 2 door, extended cab isn't cutting it. I'm trying to do some last-minute repairs and I ran into a problem:

A while back, I took off the panels in the passenger compartment because I had a blown speaker, and replaced it. In the process of removing the panels, some of the push pins broke; they were brittle after 10 years. I went to the dealer to get some replacements but the dealer can't find them in the schematics anywhere. I was hoping someone on here would be able to help.

I'll post a picture later but has anyone else had this problem?

They hold parts 4 and 5 to the inside of the cab. That looks like the same schematic that the dealership pulled up.

I tried going to the store and seeing if those "Help" brand fasteners would work but none were the same.

Not gonna lie I have like Toyota or GM fasteners on my truck right now, anything that looks similiar to the ones I had are good enough for me.

Can't help you since on my 02 reg cab it's only screws holding the door panels on, no push pins.

I have a whole drawer full of those things at work, all different kinds. You could probably go by any body shop and buy a few from them. Like sxrsil3nt said, they aren't really specific to your truck.

YEAH nothing showing in any other locations that is weird, unless dodge only services them with the panels. Which would suck, any pictures of the clips?
