Default Door Panel Question

Where exactly are the "68-77 Door panel clips, 4 per car" located on my car or door panels?

They're on the lower corners of each panel & used to secure the panel to the door. They clip under panel material & have an eyelet sticking out for a screw that goes into the door. When you take the screw out they remain with the panel.

Where can you get those clips? I'm assuming you're talking about the plastic pieces with the teeth that fit together to hold the panels on. One on each door doesn't stick anymore and I've been wanting to fix it.

No these are metal clips that attach the panel to the door on the lower corners. They're item "A"......Hokie, yours is item "K".

ya what mdsmith said.

They are metal, they are located
1) on each door jamb, toward the bottom
2) down by the kick panel on the door itself that one should lay flat, the other one bends away from the door panel.

Its hard to explain, but there are 2 per door, and 4 total per car.

As for the plastic peices...those suck, they surve no purpose that I can see, aside from anti-rattle purposes, but then again my window rattles, so whats one more area rattling?
