First question.
Is there any online parts store I can order OEM parts?
I've searched the interwebs and all I come up with are accessory stores.
Why?
I need the little scissor clips that hold the door panels in place.
There are no dodge dealers that are convenient for me 2 or from work so I'd like to order online.
Thanks

Dorman P/N: 961-080, Panel Retainers. They can be found at Autozone, Napa, etc.

Thanks that's awesome.
Unfortunately neither of those sites list them online under any search terms.
"Panel Retainer" "Dorman" "Panel" etc ...
O'reilly actually lists Dorman products, but can't find that clip.
I'll have to go in, and talk to one of the ill informed counter guys.
That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

Thanks, at least it's a simple part to find

I would bet you'd find em here.

HAHAHA
I found it, and at first I was like $14 you people are crazy, then I realized it's per bag of 100
What I find interesting is that the part # mentioned earlier is for a Ford, but the part itself looks correct.
Here's the Ford part

Here's the Chrysler part

Before I buy a 100 of these I want to make sure I'm getting the right one.
Any ideas?
And yes I'm going to buy the bag of 100, because other sites are asking $1.75 per clip, and if I replace all of mine I'm going to need 20.
Might as well buy the big bag, and give them away for free around here

Better deal through Clips and Fasteners though.

OK I've been using the interwebs since they were nothing but simple BBS boards, and I could not find those on that website.
What search terms did you use?

jimbo486

Google searched "Dorman 961-080." First result was AutoZone.

Mick-e

Stupid me. I kept searching on the Autozone website. Who knew I needed to enter the part number in google to get back to the Autozone site

Back to clips and fasteners. It's the Ford part right?

j_martin

I used to be able to google a topic by entering search terms (like part number) and then the site, (like site:napaonline.com). I just tried it and it no longer works. Best theory is that sites are blocking the google robots that build the index because we are all pretty ticked off at the way google is flooding us all with advertizing by snooping on out web travels.

unintended consequences I'm sure.

Verygood to find these numbers as Im sure they will be very useful. Can a mod add them to the stickies?

The last clips I bought for my 91 Dodge/Cummins were labeled for a Ford, but were identical to the Dodge originals, so yes the Ford ones will work.

The Ford ones are for a slightly thicker panel. I squeezed them a little bit with some pliers and all was well.

Don't know about the Ford clips from Clips and Fasteners, but the Ford clips I bought from AutoZone seemed to work just fine.

Last time I was at the local Pull N Pay,
I removed a few door panels from Dodge full size and Dakotas
and took the clips
No charge
