1971 Lower door panel clips

[rlargent]

What is everybody doing for the clips that hold the lower plastic door panel to the full cardboard door panel on a 70 and 71? I have all the screws but am missing a few clips.

Can you find some beat up lowers to salvage the clips from? If I remember correctly these are rectangular and push into the backside of the panel not sure anyone makes them. Kind of like finding the wafer head screws that go into them. Seems as mine didn't use all of the available screw holes when it left the factory years ago.

Thanks for that tip. I’ve been scouring eBay and marketplace trying to find one. If I don’t find one soon I’m thinking about using those small axel caps at lowes. I’m not sure if capping over them and tapping a new screw hole will work but I fit sure don’t want loose dirt panels. This is definitely something that I wish was reproduced aftermarket.

I think this is what your talking about. Here are the part numbers.

NPD carries the clip and cone inserts COPO provided pics above. NAPA I believe carrys a similar clip but I don't think they had the inserts.

Only the flat headed pancake screws hold the lower plastic panel to the cardboard panel.
