I think they may be called interior trim clips or something like that... and yes, auto parts stores have such things usually, so you can take such a fastener with you and see if you find matching ones.

To be honest I actually just saw some at the local Sears hardware. It is in the asile with all the nuts and bolts and washers and such. Go to the section that has all the misc garbage like gromets and plugs and they should be around there.

Looked the same as OEM to me. Can't speak of its actual strength vs OEM ones since I never actually bought any.

Some refer them at Locking clips, Most dealer ships atleast down here call them Bumper Clips, Body Clips cause their usually used on the wheel well covers and panels that just come off easily and are used on interior panels that "snap" on.

Can obtain them at Any local Auto store if you go to the parts counter. Also "Any" Dealership will have them in stock garunteed

Different people call them different names. Usually when you tell them they would know what youre talking about..
