Angry LMC door panel fasteners

I just opened my replacement door panels and started to put them on my doors when it seems that the fasteners won't go into the panel w/o breaking has anyone ever bought these fasteners and panels (they came as a set from LMC) they are oblong shaped with a 1/4 pie cut out. like a miss shaped pacman. The holes are oval in shape.

Welcome to FTE

By your description, these fasteners appear to be universal "fitz-alls." I doubt they are genuine Ford...because the Ford clips are obsolete, their availability is limited.

383033-S100 .. Door Trim Panel Clip (not used with lower door trim/map pocket-different clip) / Obsolete

Fits: 1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco.

EVANS FORD MERCURY in Carrolton IL has 12 = 217-942-3636.

OITKER FORD SALES in Barry IL has 15 = 217-335-2329.

RALPH BAIRD FORD in Larned KS has 25 = 620-285-3123.

VANLANDINGHAM MOTORS in Kingman KS has 26 = 620-532-3181

MANDERBACH FORD in Temple PA has 35 = 610-929-3683.

REAGOR-DYKES FORD LINCOLN in Plainview TX has 42 = 800-498-3673.

check this place out, they have the OEM style but with the replacement panels, they are made for a push pin style plastic clip with a "nail" on top of the bigger head that clips intot he panel. once you have all the pins in the back side of the panel, you just push the panel on.

oem style
TR 253 - 25pcs. / Wire Door Panel Ret.

the other style i was talking about. not sure if this is the correct size but this is what they look like
TR 262 - Reg.Pack 25pcs. / Ford, GM, Univ.

Wire type door trim panel clips were not used on these trucks. 1940/60's passenger cars only.

The push pin type is correct (and is similar to 383033-S100). If I had known someone was gonna make reference to it and the source who has them, I wouldn'ta had to type all that jazz.

Thanks, I appreciate your effort and the picture of the little charmer.

hmm news to me, all the panels ive ever pulled off were held on with those wire things. they really suck to pull off, they grip quite well
