    Anybody know of a good door panel clip/fastener? I bought two packs of the Dorman brand GM panel clips at autozone and they break in the process of installing.

    Are you lining them up before you push on the panel?

    Yes, lined up. They are so brittle sometimes they break just putting them in the door panel. They mainly break where the clip fits in the panel which is fine as long as it happens when taking the panel off because it will save the panel.

    Obviously.... Just saying in my opinion, advance is better... Cheaper prices, always have parts i need in stock for the most part, and the parts ive purchased from there are never defective or ****ty quality..

    I used dorman panel retainers to install my trunk lid mat, none of them broke at all..
    Maybe it was the ones you got?

    I went to Autozone and had the same experience with the ones that they sold - I tried to slide the heads of the clips into the door panel and they snapped right off. The ones that were factory seemed aged, yet far more pliable than the Autozone ones - the new ones were breaking left and right. Are the clipsandfasteners ones more pliable?

    Thanks!
