Door Panel Retainer Clips

Looking for these clips. All the threads I found were too old, and either the link didn’t work, or the part number is no longer available. I did find these:

https://www.summitracing.com/int/par...52-k/overview/

Anyone know if those will work?

I purchased a box of Dorman 700-399 "Trim Panel Retainers" They worked perfectly. I am not sure if the clips in your link are an interchange for these or not, but perhaps you can find a cross-reference somewhere.

Mark, so you’ve used the Scott drake ones? I live close to a Summit, so I like those, if they fit.

They are available at O'Reillys. But listed as a Ford part on the rack.

I used a screw in the back bottom corner in each door because when I slammed the door the clips wouldn't hold. The carpet hid the screw head quite well.

Napa has lots of them, to keep them from moving too much I put a gob of black silicone over them and let it set for a little while

I like the gob of RTV tip, jw216.
I just have a bin full of OEM door clips in the shop, I raid when in need. Napa is a 30 mile round trip for me!

Just because you live so far out in the woods they have to pipe in the sunshine.
