LOL. Good luck with that. I just returned from a trip around town a few minutes ago looking for those. I got some replacements for the plastic plugs in the back of the headliner, but not a piller clip to be found anywhere. Looks like a trip to the dealer tomorrow.

The junkyard is about the only option other than permanently gluing them on.

As often as I've had these clips break when removing the pillars, I'm going to spend a couple more dollars and get them new. :) Probably pick up some spares for the other trim pieces since they're probably going to start breaking left and right when I pull the pieces to paint them.

Dude I lost both of mine (both sides) and broke off the tabs on the bottom too! And they both still stay on somehow. I've had those things in and out so many times it's insane.

I just buy a bunch at a time from the dealer and hoard them until I need them. Between the two cars that's happened quite a bit.

4775846AA Wndshld plr trim - Clip MSRP $5.60 If shipping doesn't kill you, I would order from the cheapest online dealer I could find.

Then there is this rip off artist with the shipping...

IDK if they are actually obsolete either...
