Where can I find the plastic door/body clips for the trim surrounding the "wood"?
Also looking for the rubber body molding  that matches the pattern for an  84 Eagle LTD
New paint, new leather, carpet, contact paper.......now just the accents.

there are 2 sizes.1 is about 1/2 inch, the other is about 5/8.
mine are faded white brittle broken plastic, so any better than that are good. they have a flat back  that slides into the trim and a split "prong" to
clip into the body. car is in St George Utah getting painted so I can't get my hands directly on them.
thanx, Mark

I am looking for these too!!!
The clips that hold the trim pieces on.....the pieces that run along the top line of the woodgrain.
The little white ones in the eagle nest store are close, but too small. :help:

I am not sure about the woody wagon trim clip fasteners.  I don't think I have seen what they look like.

hi an easy solution for the plastic fender trim, (or any body trim) holes, is to buy a mix of plastic  sheetrock anchors, available almost anywhere, and for little money. find the size closest to what you need, and massage them a little, ie drill the hole a tiny bit over, grind down the too tall head etc, if lucky, you will find an almost perfect fit, without doing anything. thanks gz
