311 Door Panel Clip Tech Section

Looking for those elusive door panel clips that are no longer available? Well, Mark Bangert has found a solution. Read on if you are interested.

Napa part #665-1103 worked great after a bit of modification. I bought a bag of 22 which was enough for both doors. They were less than a quarter a piece. Modification was twofold:

1) All clips needed to be narrowed on the end that goes into the door, otherwise I'm afraid they'd never come out. I did that by squeezing them as far as possible with plyers.
2) The 4 or 5 clips at the top of the panel had to have the part of the clip that goes in the door shortened otherwise they would hit the window. A strong pair of wire cutters worked great.
