And if you're talking about the clips that hold the trim on the outside of the door, they are called trim clips.  Try American Foreign in Dalton, Joe Kirtpatrick in Cleveland, or Mainly Foreign in Chattanooga to get 'em local.  CIP1.com or mamotorworks should have 'em online.

Oh, and be sure you get the seals that go behind them too.

Come on Zen. You don't want SC to get confused about fixing it right do you ?    You know he has a couple of garbage bags somewhere :roll:
