    Push in clips

    Looking for the metal push in clips that goes in a hole, that the pin on the back of a trim piece snaps into. Like the one on the Ford emblems. I am trying to re-install the two trim pieces that go from the back window around to the back door... I can't find these things anywhere local... (They are shaped sort of like a little "Christmnas tree", and hollow. They snap into the hole in the fender then the trim piece snaps into it... )
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Ford didn't have them...
    Napa didn't have them
    or any other parts stores here locally...

    And the junk yard ones break when you try to remove them.....

            Found them on the website that "rellik god" suggested... Using the name that "cheese steak jim" suggested... So now All I have to do is figure out what size to get! I THINK
            the ones I need are the 1/8" size with sealer... http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/Tub...d_p/a11293.htm

            Thanks for the info!

                Lots of neatoness. Junk like that can be near impossible to scare up sometimes.
