Check the small parts rack at NAPA or O'reillys. They are also used on old ford doors as well. The last package I got said they were for a ford.

Check this out.
Just bought 40 of them off of Ebay for 15.23 , and that included shipping.
Sellers store is altha fastners located in florida.
Ebay user name altha3 , or just search dodge door panel clips and you will find them.
My local dealer had 4 of them in stock and wanted just shy of 8 bucks each.
No wonder they had been sitting on his shelf awhile.

Dealer list price is $1.50 each.

Fastenal also has them in their automotive books. They might not have them in stock. Most of the time it would be the next day.

I replaced my broken clips with drilling 1/8" holes nearby and running short stainless self-tapping screws there, ... a tad red-neck, but it's a work truck and I find it easier than OEM, ...

Most people don't feel like ruining a set of good door panels though.

I always grab as many of those clips that I can find when I am out at the junk yard. My door panels were put back on with self tapping screws by the previous owner. I can't stand seeing screws in the door panels.
