Where to find replacement pins???

[victorye3]

I just took off my back rear panel to get to my subs and amp. While doing this I broke practically all the little pins that holds it on. I swear they were so brittle the broke when I touched them. Does anyone know where I can get replacement ones?

Believe it or not I found a very complete supply of plastic "pins" at PepBoys. (I had to replace some front underbody molding that had come loose) and while I could not find the exact replacement I found pins that were very close.

Good luck

Looks like I have found a real decent online resource for fasteners of all types. When you get a chance, you might want to check out:

Their website is a little hard to figure out at first, but at least they have a picture of all of their parts.

Does anyone know if the correct name for the fastner is (Panel Retainer)? What size Fastner should I get, when I went to the web site there was like 10 different ones.

Here's what I've done, If you have 2 or 3 Ford dealer's in your area with body shop's, Take the broken retainer and ask them if they have any (preferably used). Tell them you just need 2 or 3 of them. if there used 9 out of 10 time's they will give them to you. Then go to the next dealer and repeat the process unitil you have all the retainer's you need.. Some time's you'll get lucky and find a shop that will give you a handfull of 8 or 10. The last time I bought retainer's they were 15-20 cent's apiece...
