Insane price for stupid Christmas tree retainer
Is it me or is GM crazy charging $3.60 a piece for a 25794341 Christmas tree push retainer for our trim pieces!
These things are minuscule push pins that should be $3.60 for fifty of them.
Has anyone found a pin that is close in dimensions that does not cost an arm and a leg?
Geeze Louise, I can live with being screwed by the general on big ticket items, but don't insult me on a 2 cent injection molded pin.

I took an old retainer to NAPA and they matched it to a replacement. Ordered it and it was there for pick up that same afternoon. Cost was a fraction of the OEM pin.

I go to my local O'Reilly for stuff like that.

I have bought MANY different types and sizes of C6 retainers from there.
I probably have what you need in one of my drawers.
