Door Retainer Clips

[Teal95Jimmy]

I have a 95 Jimmy 2 door and I need to replace the retaining clips on the door. I'm gonna wait till i change my speakers out, which should be sometime in the next week. I would just like to know how many clips i need to completely redo the front door.

I just re did all of them in my sis's 99 I think it was 9 per door i belive Or close to it.

Yip, get them at the dealer, there are no "HELP!" variety that fit right.

Some stuff is not worth going to the dealer for, price wise. For the head ach then ones i got at advanced auto, 4 band-aids later, i should have went to the dealer. The ones i got the base look like a disfigured Pack-Man and were such a pain to get in, I had to trim every one.

Yup I did the same thing, bought them from AutoBone and they did not fit right, definitely (and I can't believe I am saying this) go to the dealer.

Hehehe...

Me too!

Get the real deal or you will have to trim all the aftermarket ones to fit.

Can the dealer for pricing.

usually those things are like $2 per clip/retainer

[BlazerLT]

You sure of that, that price sounds awefully high.

[ZL1power69]

maybe im thinkin of the clips for the grill but im pretty sure the interior retainers are not cheap either. might be better off to go to a junk yard and take some of another blazer.

I found some at NAPA for the door of my 89 Blazer. They fitted reasonably well.

After the third NAPA door handle broke I splurged out and bought a handle from the dealer at an exorbitant price. I hope this handle lasts more than 6 months.

Problem with junk yard is the plastic is soooooo cheap u pull a door panel of 3-4 times u need new ones, and when they get old they get britle and just taking them off will most likely break them. i cant see them being too expensive.

$2.04 from my local dealer.
Each.


How exactly do the "Help" varities differ? I know they dont fit right, but I dont have any originals left to compare them to.

[Eslhockey92g]

ouch, I dont think thats worth getting the dealer for, The only diff i see and found was the base, After doing 3 doors i found it easier to twist them in to the slot. Once there in though they do work will.
