Anybody have a part # or clip that will work on the rear pillar post trim for a fifth gen? Prev owner tore the ones on my elco up and reaffixed them with sheet metal screws. I fixed the holes, but need to put the trim up correctly. There are two on each side at the top of each window.

Also does anyone know a vendor who sells the parts microfiche? I have had these in the past.

Thanks in advance.

When I replaced the headliner in my 87 neither I nor the guy at the GM parts counter could find a GM part number for those clips. I went to the local Pep Boys and found some that would work. The white ones are the ones I used for the trim piece you're talking about.

There is usually someone on ebay selling microfiche. I've bought some there before.

The white ones look dead on. Unfortunately, there isn't a Pep Boys in the north MS area.

Pep Boys, Advanced Auto Parts, Kragen, Autozone, NAPA, etc... any one of the franchise auto parts stores should have the clips.

Where do you get the black ones? my local dealer did not have a part number and said they were discontinued to boot. I had to go off and finds a fastener place and i still don't even have the right ones, mine look like christmas trees and are gonna be a pain if I have to replace the headliner again.

This has been discussed before.
