Drummerboy4as Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I had to pull my door panel off the other day to replace a broken regulator, naturally every clip holding the door panel on snapped at the first sign of any force. They are 37 year old peices of plastic after all. Anyway, I'm looking to see if anyone has a good source for these or ones that will work. I like my door panels, they're in great shape and I don't really want to put any holes in them or anything. All suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Alot of those plastic fasteners are very similar. Id hit up a yard & snag as many as you need off another vehicle. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Take a sample into the parts store. They may be able to sell you a bag of aftermarket ones for cheap. You could get lucky. Who knows? Trying's free. Quote Link to comment

The clips fit over the edge, or through slits in the middle of the panel, have sound deadening foam pads and slip right into the mating holes in the panel. They hold strong and when you want to, pop right out with a trim tool. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the suggestion though, if I come up with nothing locally I'll def reconsider. Quote Link to comment
Creepy Cruiser Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Have you tried you local Nissan dealer? I just got all the ones for my 510 there, and they were not to bad on price at all. You can also take them to most upholstery shops and they will have something to match up with it. Quote Link to comment
