[RESOLVED] Door panel clips

[BowlerDo0d]

Ok I've searched over and over for this with no answers yet...

I removed my door panel by removing all the screws, and popping out all those little clips (naturally). The plastic clips I did find and bought new ones (that are not smashed), however, anyone know where I can get the square plastic nuts that go into the door for the placement of the screws? Most of the ones I had either broke out or are completely stripped and useless, but I can't find these anywhere that will fit! Tried local parts stores and the only ones available are too small. any ideas?

Check a local junkyard. You should find them there.

You might also try your local Mitsu/Chrysler dealership. You don't list a car in your profile, so I don't know if you're talking about 1g or 2g. Might also search the forums...I'm pretty sure the Sebring/Avenger interior is the same as 2g Talon/Eclipse. If so, ask the Chrysler/Dodge guys for those parts and you might luck out. But this assumes you have a 2g and assumes my vague recollection about interiors is correct.

 

[BowlerDo0d]

yes i have a 2g. guess i'll get to updating my profile now!

I think he's talking about the plastic "acceptors" for the red door clips that you have to pop in/out *after* removing the screws. I always thought the clips just popped through a hole in the door...never looked carefully.

I'm pretty sure TurboSax is right (and you too Kenamond). The red plastic push clips do just go through a hole in the door. The screws are what actually screw into those plastic mounted pieces.

I re-read his original post, and I'm a moron.

No one said that! But it's cool. I found a place to get replacement (not necessarily red) clips and yes they do go into the door. Napa gave me some type of plastic clip but the initial ones I received are a bit too small. Didn't try going back for different ones just yet.

I'm just being humble.

Now drop everything and fill out your profile.

Just in case you need it, the Mitsu part number for the plastic clips is MB608104. And they're yellow.

Thanks for the part #. They are $7.28 EACH at the dealer!

I was planning on removing my door panel to hook up the speakers, but if I do, will I need to replace the parts OP is replacing? Or can I just reattach everything?

if you unscew and pop everything out correctly without having to use much force, then you should be able to reattach the door without buying those pieces. i take my door off all the time and never break those. just must have been a mishap and op accidently broke those.
