I just installed a new headliner, but of course I just realized the A and C pillar plastic attaching clips are broken. I do not think these are available new. Any ideas? I am sure this is a common problem.
What color do you need? I know ECS tuning has these available in silver gray; not sure about other colors.

Schwartz is still available too, ordered A and C pillars from Schmiedmann a couple of weeks ago.
75% of the plastic clips on mine were missing, and although I was initially tempted to try to repair them I since decided on replacement.

Hey Mike
I have light Parchment
ECS tuning appears to have light parchment as well. So does Schmiedmann — Their prices are often better, although you have to take into account credit card fees and shipping.

my advise, as I just tried installing new ones last night, rip the new insulation off them before you spend hours trying to install them. the new insulation is very hard and not forgiving
I swear, my cars are like a girlfriend.
Sometimes its a rough ride, sometimes its smooth motorin'.
Sometimes she doesnt like how i treat her and sometimes i dont like how she behaves.
BUT at the end of the day, she loves it when I am inside her.
Hey Clockwork. Do you have the part number for the clips? I'm going to redo my headliner this winter so I might as well start gathering the parts.
Also, I'm thinking about going with a dove gray interior vinyl glued directly to the headliner and pillars instead of the foam backed headliner material. Anyone run into sunroof clearance problems with this approach?
See attached pic
These are for the A and C pillars. You need 10.
You need 16 headliner clips, p/n
