Dash Anchor clips

The anchor clips that run across the top filler panel of the dash. Are they available anywhere? Was putting my dash back together today and lost the center piece to one. I'll probably find it when I get a replacement

do you mean the little push-pull pins? They hold in the black strip that goes up along the bottom of the rear edge of the dash shade piece... hard to describe. I just sent a few of these to Nate and have a couple left. I had to buy 10 when I needed one.

Where'd you get them? I had a couple break pulling mine out as well.

GM dealer. They would only order a box of 10 for me, I needed 1...

Yes, that is what I need. Do you want to sell them? I can paypal you some funds.
If not, do you have a part #?

Let me see how many I have left. I just sent a few to Nate. How many do you need, 1?

I only need 1, but I will take 2 if you can spare it.

I have some available too. I was gonna put them in, but my black molding piece fits so tightly I can't even force a clip in. It holds better without them than it ever did with them. IDK what i did when I put the dash back together, but it fits better now. I just snap it into the little lip in the dash pad and it stays perfectly.

How many are holding that cover piece on under the dash? 4? I'd go look but it's 2 a.m, I know it's a few, so would you want to sell me a some Derek?

There are about 5 or 6 7mm bolts holding the dash in up top. The tabs that the bolts go through, if you don't tuck them behind the upper dash tabs, your filler panel holes will not line up, and the anchor clips will not fit in the holes. The filler panel will fit more tightly also. That is probably what you did when you re assembled.

Ahhh that makes sense. Oh well, I'm not taking it back apart to do it when everything seems to fit nice and snug. Although I'm sure I'll end up having to take it apart for something later on down the road... Thanks for clearing that up. I feel a little stupid now though.

Don't feel stupid. How do you think I know about this I put it together and couldn't get the anchor clips in at all. Took it back apart and realized my mistake. That's what bulletin boards are for

Haha, well at least you took it back apart. By the time I got to the point of installing the dash trim piece I just wanted it back together at all costs. So I kinda just shoved it in and left it. You know how you get to that point....
