Default b-pillar fasteners...damnit!

So, while wrapping my b pillars in CF, i broke one of the fasteners. No problem, a little super glue and problem solved.

yesterday while running my amp kit, i leaned my weight on the pillar and broke the other 2 fasteners. Super glue is not an option anymore and i really really dont want to spend $70 on one b-pillar. Nor do i want to get some CF ones from (insert company name here). I like the matte look.

Does anyone know if the dealership sells just these fasteners?? they somewhat resemble the clips for the door panels.

Im also missing one of the clips for the VDO?? thing in the trunk brace under the carpet. Its next to the anchor for a child seat..


any suggestions or recommendations on what to do here???

thanks guys!

Are you talking about the white clips that are pointed with flared lips? If so you should be able to pick those up sheap at the dealer

Yeah check courtesy parts, they should have them (or at least the part num in the diagram). Your lucky, I broke the entire pillar with a PC... Very flimsy. Also mine looked pretty swirly too when the light hit them. Just the cheap material they used I think.

update..... i went to the dealership. They had to order the clips. $6 each

I also bought some interior plastic panel clips. The ones that hold your door panels, ect to the car. They were $3.50each. damn pricy. $45 total for some damn clips.
