Headlight retainers.
Am I the only one who has an issue with breaking the headliner retainers when removing them? If anyone knows where I can purchase these I would like to know where. I found them on eBay in a pack of 25 but they were tan and I am looking for gray. I've not had one come out that didn't break on it's way out.

No they're plastic. The head of it is like a 1" diameter circle and it pushes through the headliner and holds it up. They also hold up the kick panel on. I broke every one of those damn things dropping my headliner. And I know, the title says headlights, I tried to edit it but couldn't.

They will not be color matched, but there are aftermarket options. We used a company called Carolina Autoparts and they had a great selection of retainers. Dorman should also have a decent selection. The push pins will be sold by style, dia and length. You only have to get close, then pick up a can of SEMs die that is close to your color and your set.
