Buy them from Amazon. You get 10 clips for $10.

The amazon link for this retainer is for GM Part# 11588818....is it the same as the GM Part# 11561329? Do you know? Reading inside the Amazon link and copying the just part of the link... it shows this link for 3 different GM parts....

I also need to replace these retainers on my 07.
I know that this is a old thread; but, I hope you can respond.

I ordered my parts from Gene Cultrag. It was easy and cheap, just a couple of bucks for all the parts and they shipped quick. Here are the part numbers (note, the website claimed these wouldn't fit my '06 base, but they did):
11561329 Rocker Molding Retainer
11609871Bumper Cover Retainer

Note, I didn't have to remove the entire bumper cover as some suggest when fixing this. I just loosened the screws/clips by the radiator to allow enough flex in the bumper cover to remove the old clip with a flathead screwdriver. Insert the clip and press firmly on the cover and you're done! Just be gentle, but this was an easy fix.

I am getting ready to undertake this fix. I have the clips (11561329) but am not sure if I will also need the bumper cover retainer (11609871). I think I will take a look and see what it looks like inside first. If all goes well, I should have several left over clips for anyone who may need them.

Both of my sides are lifting but one more than the other. Looking at the picture obviously the clip is broke, do I just pop out what is remaining of the broken clip and pop a new one in?
