Looking for fasteners
Have an 03 standard C5 with the removable tinted plastic top. There is a 3 ft. x 7 inch black plastic trim panel that fits inside and just under the rear of the plastic top hatch. There are two holes in it for plastic fasteners that secure it to a vertical trim piece just behind the door opening.
Where can I get some of these? Looked at Eckler's and Midwest but had no luck. These are push in type fasteners and black in color.
Thanks

I assume you're talking about the targa halo. You can try an auto parts store. They probably won't have the exact item but they'll have something similar that will work. They're just automotive trim fasteners.
This website might be better. You'd have to measure to make sure it's the same but I believe these are similar, or the ones you'll need.

Get in touch with the used parts vendor on the forum. Chances are they will have what you need.

ON my first rip to the dealer to get some stuff for my used car, i was surprised to see a guy buying screws across the counter with GM part numbers. After all, you can buy auto assembly screws all over town, cheaply.
At the time I didn't get why a guy would buy fasteners at a car dealership. Now I get it, it is easy to get the right stuff, and having a professional parts guy helping you on the task will prevent handyman type results as the cars age.
