WJ trim clips
Hey all, I went searching today looking for the proper trim clips for my 99 WJ. Well, I found squat that was helpful. Last week I found a post, somewhere (maybe at another forum) at mentioned at there were 3 different types of clips used in these. I can't find it again.
So my thought is to make a new thread so that someone doing a search on this will be able to find something useful more easily.
Here are my questions: 1. Would anyone know the part numbers for any of these clips, and 2. What about the grommets?
If someone's got useful info I'm all ears!

Perhaps they do. But with results like this :http://www.dormanproducts.com/gsearc...=YMM&q=Grommet
...searching is none too useful. Yes I provided feedback. Using search term "trim" instead of "grommet" yielded 0 results.
I actually hoped to make this an informative thread so that not just myself, but others might have a little ammunition when faced with 50 different types of clip and no grommets to have an idea what they should be looking for.

I'd take a good fastener with you to the auto parts store to match up with the aftermarket ones. The other thing you could do is head to your local Pick-'n'-Pull (self-service junkyard) and take off the panels of a vehicle there, along with some good fasteners. That way you'll have the factory fasteners. My Pick-'n'-Pull doesn't charge extra for 'em as long as you get the part, and I wouldn't think that they'd charge much for 'em if you just buy them and nothing else.

Old fart with a wrench
I needed to push-pin fasteners for the bottom of the front fascia and went to a dealer parts dept who looked them up on their computer. It took all of about 5 minutes. They were a touch expensive though.

Interior trim clips?
All the exterior push-in / push-pin fasteners can often be found at NAPA and even ACE hardware.
