I got fasteners for the panel at autozone after replacing the window motor. Fasteners worked great until i pulled the panel for the auto door lock. Had to replace the fasteners again. I guess there only good for one time use only.
That's what I have found too. You can rarely re-use them. They get bent and weakened once you pull them off. I got to the point where if I knew that I was going to be pulling a door panel off, I would make sure to have some new fasteners on hand. I did get them at NAPA, but they weren't cheap. It was about $5 for eight of them, something like that.
