    And looking through the OEM list, items #9 and #11 are shown in diagram, but not listed below. Are these the same as item #7? And are these the clips I need?

    Looks like item 9 to me. Phone a dealership parts department and verify?

    The majority of the push in plastic nylon fasteners are 7mm rather than the more common 8mm ones used by other manufacturers.

    The aftermarket ones that have Phillips screw heads center inserts are more secure than the OEM ones. Manufacturers went to the smooth top ones, because they take less pressure to insert which makes it easier on the workers assembling the cars.
