trim clips! i need help!!

[bsturman92]

ok so i removed all ym trim to re paint it and there are a few clips that broke.... the ones i mailny need are the push in rivet style that have kinof a cone shape top that inserts into the body... i basically broke all of them and they are preventing me from being able to put the trim back on... the ones on the end look to be permanent so my question is.. can i replace them or do i have to buy new trim??? they kinda look like this.. some are removable but some look to be not


they all kinda look this way.. and if i can replace them where can i find them? seems impossible

Bavauto sells the clips, I just replaced mine. There are some of the clips that are pressed into the molding which can not be removed, for those, you need to replace the molding itself (also avail on bavauto)

Go to "exterior"... "trim and gaskets"... "Trim/side moldings"
