Default Daystar Dash Panel

So while installing my daystar dash switch panel they lost one of the retaining clips that keeps it in. Does anyone know where I can find one? The dealer will only order the replacement part for $56!!!!!!!!!!!

Check the Lowes oddity drawers near the srews and washers might have something there.
However, if they are installing it shouldn't they replace the clip they lost?

They are going to replace it but I have to wait for them to get the clip themselves. I don't like waiting.

ARRGGGHHHH!!!! I need the clips too and I kept hitting the same damn wall at the stealership. I was thinking about calling some body shops but if anyone has a clue on where to get these I would be eternally grateful! This has been so annoying for me. Hook a brotha up!!!

I am going to lowes and Ace Hardware to see if I can find them. My guess is someone like car quest or something has to have them. I mean come on.

I even snuck into the garage at the dealer and asked a few guys and they laughed and said yeah they get real pissed if we lose those. HAHA. Looks like everyone hates them.

Any clue what Auto store? Maybe a national chain like Auto Zone or Pep Boys? Oh please say it was one of those. My dash looks like crude.

REL1203 if I find anyone up here that has them I will pick up more than I need and drop them to you in the mail or meet you. I will call around tomorrow and see what I can do. Someone has to have them.

Try a salvage yard. I expect Chrysler uses them in other vehicles.
