Hi Guys.. I'm trying to locate the part number for the clip/fastener that locks down the rear panels. I'm using this site:

but have not been succesful. Here are pics of what the clip looks like:

Hold a second. I know I asked the question long ago..............let me see if I can find the thread. If not, I also have a link to the parts catalog.

Thanks mazurfer.. I did a pretty thorough search using any keywords i could think of, but was not succesful

Mazurfer

Yeah...............I had the same issue. See your PM's and see this link to the thread below.
There are some scanned pages in this thread when I was looking for a clip in my trunk.
I believe it's the same one as I was seeking.
The thread isn't very long, just give it a quick read.

Thanks a lot mazurfer! Strange though.. for the rear side panel shown in the image below from your thread.. it shows #9 being used to lock in the side panel panel even though #8 looks like the clip I have above, right?

Mazurfer

Yeah...............but I think it's #8, that's the same one I was looking for and when I saw your original post, I knew what it was.


Wait..............isn't #8 the clip and #9 what it fits into? Look at that diagram real close again.

Yeah.. also #3 looks pretty damn similar, but it appears to be used somewhere in the trunk.. however, in this image below, also from your thread.. it seams like the overhead panels covering the speakers use #3... but I sure dont remember that the clips holding down those panels look any different than the clips for the side panels.. I may go remove the speaker panels and take another look...

Ahh.. you may be right there.

Mazurfer

Yep.......you are right about that again Ray............They are Tinnerman clips. If I was going to try and get them at a dealer, I'd get quite a few and several types using those part numbers.
Luckily the trunk monkey at the dock just knocked mine out and I was able to dig it out of the frame in the trunk with this long spring loaded grabby thing I have. A really good auto supply might have them as well, but who knows???????
