Default 2gen 01 door clips

Fine I'll mover here.
Friends, were can I go to get those plastic clips that hold the door panel in place for my 01 1500?
Traveled to my nearest steelership and they would have had to order them. The clips were going to cost $11 ELEVEN FREAKING DOLLARS a piece. I previously got them from napa but it was cold this year and the damned things all broke when I shut the door in sub zero tempertures.
So, where can I buy oem ones that don't break? At a reasonable price?
This is not the first time napa plastic pieces made in probably freaking china have given me fits. I did the plenum plate and swapped keggers. The kegger was out of an older outfit and I needed to splice the pvc and the booster line as the newer older kegger had the ports on different sides. Those vaccum splicer pieces broke. I got pissed and just used a 3 foot piece of hose to route it to the other side because leaving work, she didn't want to run that way. Plus it wasn't like the rubber block off nipple on the other side, also purchased at napa, was blocking much off. I pinched the end off of it with my fingers.
I really am getting tired of the panel, being loose, gets hung up on the door sill.
Failing to find some that will work, Ima use fender washers and screws.

Check at any largeish bodyshop. They probably have them on the shelf.

I bought some at Autozone meant for a Ford. They worked for me in my 1997 Dodge. Might be an option.

Can you post a pic? Not sure if they are the same as the older rams. Chrysler has been using two metal style clips for more than just the rams. Wonder if they replaced them for plastic?

Pretty sure those are what I used too, I just took an old one with me and matched it up and remember the package said they were Ford

if you don't need them immediately...

the clips are likely not the only thing broken if you've had the panel off before. The molded clip retainers love to break off the door panel

Moparite,
The ones I bought that were made for a Ford resemble the ones in the link that Mr_onetwo posted.

I guess they changed them, I was thinking something like this.
