Hey guys,

Did not know where to post this. I did some interior sound deadening today (worked great :)), but I managed to break/lose two of the retaining clips on the center instrument cluster. I lost one of the blue ones and one of the yellow ones (the picture shows only a blue one, the yellow ones look the same just are smaller). Does anyone know where could I get replacements? Would the dealer be able to help? Any guidance is appreciated! :cheers:

I'm pretty sure dealer can help. I spent quite a bit of time online looking for the screw-in rivets that hold the battery cover down.I ended up at the dealer but I am pretty sure I saw what you need online. What a pain in the ass it is pulling anything on a modern car apart.You will pretty much always break or lose the fasteners. I cant imagine the aggravation repair facilities must go thru on a daily basis.You couldnt possibly stock all these things.

Thank you for the part number. These are the yellow ones by what I can find, right? I actually looked again and I only need one blue one cause I was able to find the other one. Is there any difference between the blue and yellow ones? I thought the yellow one is smaller, I am just not sure now.

Also, thank you for all your help guys.

Dealer should be able to help, but more details on the sound deadening?

I also had asked the question before about the clip colors, blue or yellow will work in either case.
