Interior door panel fasteners
I took out all of my interior panels and padded them for some noise reduction. Im having a problem trying to find the right fastenerst that slip back onto the back of the door panels. Does anyone know where I can find them at? I've tried all the local pep boys and napa ect.. but no luck

Call your local Ford dealer, I believe you can buy them individually or in a bag of ten or so. Make sure you call a few different dealers, I found that around me the first time I bought them they were cheap....then the next time I went to a different dealer they were almost 5 times as much!!!

Body- What are you lining your panels with ? I have a 96 EB and the cheap plastic finally got the best of me. During the winter it pops and snaps when warming up and in the summer it gets hot and pliable and flaps around. I started glueing rubber matting behind the paneling. It the kind used in weight rooms to protect the floor, its about 1/4" thick and very dense. I've only used it on the doors so far and it does help tremendoulsy.

Yeah share the info on that source for the body clips. The local parts stores are raping me and so is the Ford dealer. I've had problems with the door panels in my 88 cracking below the storage pocket and the things chirp like crickets on the highway. I epoxied them with some fiberglass tape but it still makes more noise than I'd like.
Any help I'd like

I lined the sheet metal on the doors (under the panel) with Dynamat Extreme, and then attached the panels to the door with screws instead of the clips. I drilled a hole through the door panel, into the sheet metal at intervals and then used a chrome upholstery screw and washer to screw it to the metal. My doors rarely make a sound.

I would 2nd that last method, plus use some silicone on the threads to help keep them from backing out. Mind rattle horribly on gravel roads and this is how I fixed my Aerostar and plan to do the same with the Bronco.

My Bronco is almost silent, probably one of the quietest ones here. I've got a decent amount of Dynamat in it, although not the whole truck. I fixed the door panels per my post. Then I went around and tightened all of the trim screws, and the bolts that hold the top on. I run Goodyear RT/S tires which are very smooth and quiet but also give a decent grip for my type of off roading or snow.
I still have a couple of "buzzes" in the dash somewhere, they are not constant but I can't seem to find them. They are not too bad though. One day I'll get lucky and find them, actually I think that it is only one. I'd have to have someone drive the truck while I fiddled about. But it is very minor, my Bronco is a Cadillac compared to some others that I've seen.

They guys with the clips are a place on the net called PDQ there phone number is 1-800-434-5141. Thr part number is 216T it comes w/#25 clips. It replaces OEM N807925-5. im ligning all the panels w/1/2" thick carpet paneling. Thats all. Just used some headligner glue that I had and they really make the panels alot more sturdy as well. Once I get these clips and put them on n run it Ill let ya'll know how it sounds

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.
