There’s an abundance of similar but not quite the same clips of eBay but I can’t be sure they will substitute so don’t want to commit to buying a bunch! Has anyone tried any and can recommend ones that will work.

The dealer is the best place.

Or if you like you could find one somewhere in my dash (last seen flying into the abyss that is my dash) [bigsmile]

I’ve got a couple in there somewhere as well. I have a recollection that I purchased a pack of 4 from the dealership. Don’t remember the price, but I do recall asking if they were made of gold.

that's where my two are. the two that hold the panel under the steering column on. Swallowed into the dash black hole. I searched for hours but couldn't find either of them. I'm going to take a punt on $2 Chinese ones (delivered). I'll report back in 6 months when they finally arrive [bighmmm]

They will be down the bottom where the lower “hinge” point goes in.

Cheap as chips from Mario etc

I take a never be defeated approach with these clips and even if it involves partial disassembly of the lower dash I always find them.

On my to do list to find one of those missing buggers. Seems to be the D3’s Bermuda Triangle behind the centre console.

It is easier to just go to the dealer and get them - normally less than $4 each and they have the same problem of loosing clips when they service cars - time is money and they do not go looking for them if they cannot be found. So they are nearly always in stock at dealers.

x2 I spent 15 mins with the extendable magnetic picker uperer thingy in there last week during the CB install. Though I was a God damned genius when I found it.
