Question Instead of clips, what can I use???

I am talking about those black plastic clips that holds everything in place. I am missing quite a few and I need to know where I can get them other than the dealer. The dealer is charging me $2.25 for 1 clip! With the amount I need, that is a rip-off! Can I get the clips anywhere else or what else can I substitute it with?

TIA

Try this place. They have a lot of cars on there. I bought quite a few things from them. They contact dealers themselves and get better prices for you. Let me know if they have what you need.

You might want to go to a junk yard and see if they will sell you the clips from a different car such as an Accord, Civic etc. They probably use the same clips.

I just bought a bag of those clips from my local NAPA store. 14 clips for $6.35 . They are the same exact ones that the dealerships use.

NAPA Part# 665-2413

I don't see them listed on the www.napaonline.com but any NAPA store can get them by the next day.

yeah, just go to napa with one of the clips that you need and see if they can match it. Remember, we have like 4 different sized clips for our cars.

My dealer just threw a clip in for me at the last oil change. Sucks that your dealer wants to charge you 2.25
