Hey all,

I am going to replace the speakers in the truck sometime this weekend. I will have to take the front door panels off in order to do this. I was wondering where I can purchase replacement clips for the door panels. I know you can get them from the dealer, but I am wondering if they are sold cheaper somewhere else. I have taken the panels off a few times and used the same clips, but they are looking pretty bad and some of them aren't holding up anymore. In case you are wondering, I am talking about the yellow anchor looking clips that hold the front door panels on.

Thanks!

 

Any paint supply store should have them.Just buy a box instead of the exact count so you have extra for that just in-case deal.
I think I paid $10 for 25.

 

i just went to the just yard wen i replaced my lock/power window switch and took them off the door wen i took it apart

 

OK. There is an Ace Hardware and a Sherman Williams paint store right down the street from my house. I will check it out. Thanks!

 

i think youd need to go to more of a body shop kinda place

 

they have them at napa, autozone..... dont go to a dealer. i went there and tried that and they wanted like 3 bux for one!!!!!!!![sm=jawdrop.gif] oh and be carefull when you take it off and try to work it off slow. i broke like 4 of the tabs off the panel so mine alittle loose now.

 

i hate those clips their really annoying and a big pain...

 

panel clips are a pain in the ****... when i installed we had a huge bin of just generic and vehicle specific clips...we got them from the dealers in mass quantitys... we normall replaced them all when we took panels off... and that could be 10 times a day... like the fellas said above dont go to the dealer..youll get rapped with no lube ... any paint and autobody supply store will have them the cheepest... autobone or advanced will have them as well. i bet you can also get them off ebay in large amounts too

 

you can also get one a door upholstery tool as well they work great to pop out those clips and there cheap too mine was a wopping $4.99

Thanks for the info, that helps me out as well! I have one of those door trim panel tools and its exactly the same as just pulling the panel off
