Default Plastic Interior Clips/Retainers

So I installed speakers today, but when I had to remove the paneling several plastic clips broke/stopped working correctly. A majority of them actually. Anyways, I spent about 3 hours and spent $15 in different types of clips onl to find that they don't fit. What kind do I need? Do I need to order specific types of clips for this truck or what?



Thank you.

Well of course, but white size are they? I am trying to get some locally. I don't care if the colors don't match up.

You should be able to just tell them where they are missing from and they can look them up for you.

Many of the auto parts stores have a display rack with different clips, plugs, etc. Take one of the ones you removed to match up with what they have on the rack.
