Hey guys, so I got a daystar replacement dash panel and went to install it and both of the clips that were taken from the OEM panel fell threw the dash and they are lost forever...I took apart the center dash and looked to no avail. Has this happened to anyone else? Right now it looks like ass, and I really want to fix it, can i pick up these clips at a local hardware store? or anything else? thanks guys!!

 

Nobody else has lost the clips?

 

I just installed this dash yesterday and lost one clip. I found the clips in two different places having taken the panel off a few times.

1)The first spot to look for the clips is down below on either side. it sometimes falls to the metal and slides under the carpet on either side

2)take the center thing apart again and pull the radio/cd player out. (you'll need a 7mm socket for the 8 bolts you need to remove) The clip ends up sitting on the aluminum brace directly behind the cd player.

 

I dropped one of mine, too. I used one from the front panel. It works fine without it.

 

yeah it's funny, when I actually first put the panel on both the clips fell, so I took out my mygig/radio and found 1 back on that piece of metal, but could'nt find the other and tryed it again with just the one clip and it fell again I looked everywhere, I am just going to to call the dealer tommorrow, and hopefully they have them.

 

Yeah, both are lost. not sure if taking 2 of them would effect how the front dash sits. That will probably be my last resort, thanks.

 

Good luck. I tried calling 3 dealers in St. Louis and none of them knew A - what I was talking about and B - where I could get them. Apparently they're not a stand alone part and you'd have to buy the entire upper dash assembly over to get them. Or so the stealerships tell me.

 

Just go to any junk yard in your area.. The clips are the same used on all chrysler interior moldings.. I lost mine went to the junk yard and grabbed a few from an intrepid's door molding..

 

Your pretty close to me, which junkyard did you go to??

 

Nope, that's wrong. I tried to pull the clips off a 300C dash, completely diffrent.
