Window regulator clips

Do any of you 48-52 guys know of a source for the little spring clips that go in the window regulators that hold the window channel on? I have two good ones, but need two more. I can't seem to find them listed in any of the reproduction catalogs.

Nick, what are the dimensions of the base shaft and the bottom of the groove?

Offhand I think I've seen some like below at the hardware store in their bins.

I do not have a 1944/52 Car/Truck Body Parts Catalog, so these applications are 1953 and later.

357550-S .. Inside Window Crank and Door Handle Retainer / Obsolete

These standard (aka hardware) part numbers are listed in truck & car parts catalogs under the 22600 door handles and 23342 window handles.

Applications: 1953/56 trucks / 1953/59 Ford Passenger Cars / 1955/60 Thunderbird.

NOS PARTS LTD in Waxahachie TX has 2 = 972-937-2201.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 11 = 800-543-4959.

Post #12: 357550-S matches #2451 in your post 6 pic. Since I don't have a 1944/52 body parts catalog, I don't know if this is the correct clip.

This exact same clip was used on 1940/50's GM cars.

I still have the GM tool used to remove them (looks sorta like pliers), but it's designed to slip between the door panel and handle, then it's turned, causing the clip to fall out.

Call Green Sales (800-543-4959) and ask them for the clip part number for 1948/52 trucks. I wouldn't be surprised if it's 357550-S
