I realize that there have been many threads on this. The suggestions seem to be either buy generic retainers from lowes/home depot/autozone, or buy them from auto atlanta, or look into these: https://www.belmetric.com/a145-plast...l?cPath=12_178 However this last choice was left unconfirmed on the fitment. Is there anyone that can confirm the fitment of last link or has another link to a product online that they know works? I have also not had any luck at the retail locations listed. Of course my very last one broke recently so I'm gonna need like 15 of them in black.
Thanks everyone.

I'll go through my box of parts and see what I have. They're OEM but doubt I have 15 though.

Thanks, I appreciate it. The only thing is that, for OEM ones from Porsche they get to charge you like 5 bucks a piece! I don't know what you were looking to get for them, but when I have to multiply $5 by 15...


I noticed that there is one left in my car doing its best to hold the carpet up but I think that I will have to sacrifice it in order to take the measurements so that I can try to find something with similar dimensions online. I'll probably end up buying a few different ones and let you guys know which ones turn out best.

Subscribing.

I noticed lows had similar clips but I haven't tried any yet.

Alright I got my order in the mail the other day and it seems like these ones fit the best:

They're glossier than the oem ones but it still looks good to me (I guess you could spray paint them flat black/other color if you really wanted to). And you can still remove them using needle nose pliers through the larger holes above unlike christmas tree style retainers.

At $6.87 is that for each or a pack of ?? Porsche at $5.00 each is better. Seems Lowe's would come out cheaper even if you had to paint them. IMHO, Velcro would hold up better in the long run and you would not have to fumble around fitting plugs in holes, but then I'm not a Purest.

Its for a box of 25 of them. After shipping they come to about 40¢ a piece.
