Jim,
Unfortunately there's no substitute for those clips. I'm glad you got them. I had seen them on Ebay for stupid money...like $6.00 ea. That's absurd.
Were you able to get the ones across the top of the rear hatch glass?

Jack, I paid double that each. But I need them. Now that I have them, I may come up with a viable alternative using some springy metal and push clips.
I did get the clips for across the hatch area. To be honest, I forget where I got them. You put me on on a bunch of good paths and I'm sure I got them from one of those sources.
Dude, get those clips 3D scanned and printed in ABS or whatever - then we can all have some! 
Looking awesome.
Looking awesome.
Funny I was talking about this in work, this exact thing.Dude, get those clips 3D scanned and printed in ABS or whatever - then we can all have some!

I had posted awhile ago about this. I think it would be cool to 3D model all the various clips and put them up on a 3D model sharing site so anyone could print them. if I had the clips I could do the modeling and have access to a 3D printer. I think it would be at least nice for those times where you break one and can then print another instead of buying a whole bunch.
By the way, I'm excited to see you make progress. Its gonna look great!
Guys, it's funny that you mentioned having them duplicated on a 3D printer, I thought the same thing at first. I think it's a great idea.
Jim, come to think of it, I did see the clips for those prices as well. I just thought that they were smoking good sh*t.

Would a printed version be strong enough to actually use?
Hahaha. I bet there are 5 or 6 members that can use these, that's 36 clips plus spares.Guys, it's funny that you mentioned having them duplicated on a 3D printer, I thought the same thing at first. I think it's a great idea.

If printed in the correct material they will be as good as the injection molded parts, if not better. You can 3D just about any material these days.
