Where to buy replacement plastic rivet things

[Bill Z]

I got into a little altercation that required some repair to my rocker panel on the passenger side. Where do I get replacement plastic rivet things to hold the top of the rocker panel cladding on? I figure I’ll use screws on the bottom side where it isn’t seen.

You can get the factory style rivets in plastic from http://www.thefastenerwarehouse.com/page/page/570333.htm
the Fastener Warehouse...

RV117 and RV118


If you mean the plastic cup looking hangers, those are not available from GM any longer and I have not found anywhere to get a replacement.

Aren't the fasteners along the top of the cladding called trim retainers? If so, what would the part number be? Something like TR 238?

I'm asking because my Typhoon was wrecked and fixed before I got it. A bunch of the cladding was fixed wrong. Along the top they have those fasteners where you put in one piece then a nail sort of looking thing to spread out the tabs underneath.
