Trim Screw part number

[Kristuphir]

Hey all, does anyone have the # for the little screw-type clips that hold the kick panels (and some other things) in? You know, the kind with an indent for a flathead screwdriver, where you just turn it a quarter turn and pop it out.

I've looked all over RealOEM to no avail. Could be that I'm an idiot and just can't find them, but I really have looked. There are a couple of things that COULD be them, but it really doesn't get that specific.

Apparently the previous stereo system in the car was installed by trained monkeys. They either lost or ate at least half of these clips - it's a wonder any of the interior panels stay on at all.

Well yeah...I mean, you have to take this little screw and stick it in the slot, right? And then there's a hole in the slot, and if you do it right, the screw goes in the hole and it's a nice snug fit, but with some room to move. And all you have to do is move it around a little and everything's goooood...

Thanks. The last one on that page is the right idea, but with a finger tab instead of the slot in the head. Strange that this particular piece would be so difficult to track down. Ah well, it's out there somewhere...

How, o how, did I not see that before? I SWEAR I looked there...ah well, we'll have to go with the "I'm an idiot" argument.

Thanks much!
