Default Help identifying interior part....

I don't think I need to post a picture, but I will if I have to...

Imagine sitting in your C5 coupe. If you look straight up and slightly behind you, there is a large interior trim piece that runs between the targa top and the hatchback glass. This piece is secured in place by four "fasteners", two at the bottom of the trim piece on both sides of the car.

Now, what I need to know is, what are those little push-in "fasteners" called??? Do they have a part number? I am missing 3 out of 4 of these, and that big trim piece is rattling around and making me nuts. My car is a 97 if that makes a difference...

Even better, anyone know where I can buy these "fastener-thingies"?



Mike

your local paint store should have them for $0.19 each or so

Sometimes they're called "christmas trees" because of their shape.
Take your remaining one down to your local auto parts store and they should have something that will be close to it.
