clips for metal trim behind trunk lid - where to buy?

First, here's a pic:

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/291/clipcn1.jpg

It's a little U-shaped clip that helps hold the metal trim between the trunk lid and the rear window. The clip attaches to a larger plastic piece to allow screw mounting.

Problem is, all 3 of these are rusted, and two of them fell rusted apart in the palm of my hand.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, if you open your trunk lid and look towards the rear window, you'll see 3 phillips screws that mount the the trim behind the trunk compartment. Those screws go into these metal clips.

I CANNOT FIND THESE ANYWHERE! I've tried numerous hardware stores, then Lowes, Autozone, etc, but I cannot find them, and worst of all, I lost the remaining clip I had, so this picture is all I have left of them.

Does anyone know where I can find these? Things

What car is this, please get used to posting relevant info!? Lowes, AZ, hardware stores? How about stopping to think here and going to an autobody supply house or the dealer?

I've gotten some body clips at autozone for a bravada. kinda hard to find in the store. they were in a small plastic package with an orange insert inside with the size stated for the clip/bolt

Re: clips for metal trim behind trunk lid - where to buy?

Dealer didn't have these, I tried four local bodyshops, none have them. And they for some reason can't seem to tell me what the hell it's called.

What is this thing called in the pic? It's between the rear window and trunk lid. I'm referring to the black plastic piece, not the rusted metal that is securing it to the rear deck. I just need to get 3 more of whatever those are, and hopefully if I know what they're called I can find them on ebay >_>

Re: clips for metal trim behind trunk lid - where to buy?

I found the part number on them, in small writing.

20318404

Underneath of it it says

"Emu 4"

And I can't find this at any gm parts site. It's not even on ebay! Am I screwed here? Going to a junkyard wouldn't help, the ones there would be as deteriorated as these are.

Did you try a Chevy, Buick or Pontiac part places. Its probably the same part for Celebritys, pontiac 6000 or Centurys or alot of other GM vehicles. maybe even a bone yard.
