Source for Panel Clips?

2012 Ford E-350 XLT. Black triangular plastic covers that hide the side view mirrors' mounting bolts/nuts have lost their metal clips that push into the door's metal slot and keep them in place. I can't find an online source for these small metal jobs. Any ideas besides searching a junkyard?

Have you tried: General Motors,Ford & Chrysler / Regular or Bulk packaging

They might be a dealer special order item if you've searched at company's like the above and come up with nothing. It might even be a hassle going through a dealer.

I use a site called Clipsandfasteners.com for almost all my clip and similar needs. Since you know what to search for visually you should find what you need easily.

Both those websites are great resources -- but I can't find the clip I'm looking for!

Here's a photo of the clip in question:

There's no scale on this, but it looks close...

NOpe. I have to buy the $17 plastic cover to get the $0.001 fastener.

If that part hasn't yet been bought you're looking for Ford P/N F7UZ-1513284-BA, can be found here: ClipsAndFasteners.com - Automotive Retainers,Clips and Fasteners

Either way you'd have just about the same in cost, new part or box of clips plus shipping.
