Default Odd clip for interior mirror cover?

Hi all. I'm not sure what to call this interior piece but it is the small triangular piece of interior that clips onto the door behind the mirror. I took these off of both sides while swapping speakers and 3 out of 4 clips broke on me. I've been hunting around online and haven't been able to track down this type of clip/retainer. Does anyone know where I can get them or an alternate clip that might work? I thought about getting the traditional "christmas tree" type interior clips and somehow making it work but I'd prefer to get the original kind. Any ideas??

Edit: forgot to specify, this is on a 2000 Chevy Tracker 4WD 4dr 2.0L


Pushing the foam away so you can see how the clip slides into the interior piece.

Interior piece with one clip in place.

Door area where interior piece attaches.

The end of the clip that goes into the plastic interior piece.

The end of the clip that goes into the tracker door.

Thanks!

Didn't Chevy stop selling Tracker parts quite a while ago? When Suzuki went bankrupt or stopped selling in the US or whatever?

Places like oemgmpartsonline list pretty much every part as discontinued.

try pick and pull...
even if you get the black clip, the retainer on the other end is torn off...try pick and pull for a used one for $5. even if the dealer has one it will be stupid expensive.
body shops are another good resource; they can track down stuff but most likely they get one from a wrecker

The trim fasteners do not appear to be called out separately.


The trim pieces may still be available.


It looks like the clips come with the trim piece.

Thanks everyone, I was able to find one (with 2 clips) at a local yard. That brings me up to 3 clips now. So I put 2 on the driver's side and ones on the passenger (used less). I'll keep an eye out for one more to further secure the passenger side.

Found these just the other day. A little pricey for my liking. Hope this helps!

Yeah, $29 for one clip is a bit much but that is closer than anything I've found. Thanks!
