Default Need help identifying a VERY small part

I need a few of the small clips that attach the plastic air deflector that attaches to the top of the radiator, and I'm not finding either the clips, or the air deflector, in the Katalog. Here is a picture of one of the clips (my last one, which I have since lost), and of the top of the air deflector.


One of the clips

Plastic air deflector

I called Paragon, my go-to Porsche parts house, and Jason didn't have the part number readily available, which is very strange. If these clips are NOA, is it likely something similar is available at Home Depot or Lowes? Thanks.

they do go flying. buy a bunch.

binder clips work in a pinch as that needs to be sealed.

So are these radiator clips or headliner clips?
Maybe they are both?

Generic to the cars that they fit, or generic as to the job they do?

This is not necessarily in print somewhere in Porsche land, but think of it from the aspect of "used in more than one location or for more than one purpose on the vehicle". Meaning, not specifically a cooling system part, or a fuel system part, etc.

Looks like I'll be ordering some of these - my car has none

My old Audi 4000 Quattro had very similar clips performing a similar function; I recall using small binder clips to replace a couple of them ...
