Door panel clips

[Doc Holiday]

I'm trying to find the door panel clips for my 1997 3500. I had to take the door panel off to fix a couple problems and most of the clips broke. Any info or suggestions are appreciated. I will try to post pics of the ones I took off. There are 3 different ones on my panel though a couple yellow ones, a couple of black ones and about 18 or so white ones.

I've found most any of the "Christmas tree" retainers with the "dual head" that will clip in the door panel will work, no matter what color they are. They'll have them at any auto parts store in their "Help Section".

Thanks Scott. I'll take a look I was just there yesterday getting a new alternator and didn't even think to look there. I was hoping to find a complete kit.

Alright all, I'm back with another question about this. Mopar sites show you need 11 of these per door. There are at least 14 "pins" per door. Are there two different "pins" on these doors?

All I remember were 11 pins around three side of the perimeter, a couple metal grip sleaved push alignment tabs under window opening, three screws (2 door grab cup and 1 panel extension forward/top) and one bolt (door lever) on a 97 Dodge Ram 1500, '98.5 and '02 2500. Where are the "extras" located that you noticed?
Something in a fading, flickering memory cell recalls something in the middle of the panel, but not sure if it was the Rams, mid 70's Power Wagons or an Audi. All I know I put in new pins every time I pulled the panels to ensure tight and rattle/squeak free existence.

I count 13. I’m trying to buy new “pins” but want to ensure I have enough. For all I know some of these aren't correct so maybe that's the issue.

Ah-Ha! Illuminates the memory (or temporary lack thereof) cells. The top two are the "extras" and are the same as the others. Do the upper door panel pin holders have horizontal slots instead of vertical?

Yep...13 each door.

I found almost everywhere I went didn't stock the quantity (in other words, popular item, out of stock) I needed, and I could get more from ClipsnFastners for a better price. Plus, I had need for several other fasteners which they also had that the parts stores didn't stock.

Thanks that's the same exact info I had found except their count and my count didn't match. I'll go order a 50 pack and be done. One of these days I'm gonna manual window swap my truck so I'll need to do this twice.

I noticed a couple sites did show 11 where others listed AR (as required).
I added links to post 11.
