Default Door panel clips?

Is there an alternative to these clips? Ive broken a few of mine removing the door panels. I was trying to think of a way to not have to deal with this the next time i feel like taking off the door panels. No I did not use a door panel puller.

Buy a ton of them from the local dealer.
I have a huge bag full of them.

Though once you get the hang of it, you stop breaking them.
Especially as the receivers start loosening up.

Yeah, me too, but at 4 or 5 bucks a pop, it gets expensive. It's usually the grommets that go and not the pins.

A pop? Where are you getting them? I think I paid $5 for a big bag of them.
