Default Where can I find this trim push pin?

I am replacing the weatherstripping that goes over the halo and seal the back side of the targa top when it is installed. There are 4 of these plastic push pins used to install it. Two of them go directly into the body and the other two are installed into the plastic cover that hides the seatbelts. Does anyone know where I can get more of these? I have looked all around including parts diagrams to try and find a part number to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

Autozone and Oreiiley have a decent selection of those kinds of fasteners.

I got the clips in from eBay and they are exactly what I needed. I got the weatherstripping replaced using them. Thanks again!

jarero, where did you get your weatherstripping from?

I need to replace mine as well...

Did you go GM or other like Metro Moulded?

Any tips from your recent install that may help me before I start?
(ordered the fasteners already)

Thanks...

Do yourself a HUGE favor and go OEM...Heard and read too many horror stories about aftermarket. I do know Metro Mold is glued together from pieces as to where the OEM is cast as one piece.
