WANTED E-BODY UPPER DOOR PANEL RETAINING CLIPS
« on: December 22, 2016 - 04:02:58 PM »
Hi guys; Looking for 3 of these e-body upper door panel retainer clips. I have 3 to do one side. Just looking for 3 more to do the other. I saw the repro kits for sale. I just don't want to pay $40.00 for a set of 6. I enclosed a pic of the clip. Hope someone has 3 of these laying around and can help me.   Thanks,Dave

IF (big if)...I use those I only put one per side. They're not very important and don't really do anything :2cents:

I have two sets of old cuda door panels and only found 3. Did they come from the factory with 3 on each panel,Alan?

In all the cars I've taken apart over the years. I've never seen three on one panel :2cents: That doesn't mean that Chrysler didn't intend on using three... :clueless:

I normally only find one on a car when I take it apart.  Never I have seen 3 per side like the manual states.  I put one in the center.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

:iagree:  That's how mine was when I replaced the panels.
