Default Calling All C5 Owners, Please help

I have lost two clips for my hood shocks. Its a long story... Can everybody check their garages if they have some old shocks that don't work. All I need is the top clip only for both sides. I have checked with the dealership and I have to purchase the whole shock to get the clip. I have checked with the local hardware store (they have everything, but not this time). I have checked with Autozone and we tried putting on other brands and sizes of shocks' clip on it but it has to be the same curve and size of the clip to work properly.

Here is a picture of what I am talking about. If you do have it, please let me know, archdog75@yahoo.com




Also, I was thinking of contacting Chevrolet and asking them if they can find me two clips. But I have no idea what email for the parts manafacture.

Thank you for your help,
Justin

Try contacting Gene at the Karshop. Not sure if he would have these, but worth a shot.

Thats the dealer I went to. I asked the parks department and then I asked the service department if they had some just laying around. Tomorrow I guess I am going to try Young Chevrolet and if they don't have any... then I guess I will be the 2 thirty dollar shocks.

Thanks for everybody's help.
