    Can anyone refer me to some cheap plastic retainer clip sets online? I found a few on ebay but would prefer amazon to save on shipping. I got a crap ton of broken clips I need to replace.

    I have purchased from these guys before:

    Automotive Retainers, Clips and Fasteners - ClipsAndFasteners.com

    They carry a lot of specialized automotive fasteners. That said, it was years ago so I cannot speak to their prices now. Try searching for the part number on ebay and then compare to this site. For kicks you could look at the dealer prices too, but I would guess that will come out at least 5 times higher than what you can find elsewhere.

    There’s so many styles, diameters and jaw lengths. I would research the part no’s and get the Toyota fasteners; save yourself time and hassle in the long run.

    If you pry them out carefully, rinse them in soapy water and work the mechanism back-and-forth a few times before reinstalling, they last.
