Okay, so I've had my pillars in my car disassembled for awhile now because I'm going over and painting everything. &not a quick spray, but hand painting the interior into somewhat of a Sistine Chapel on wheels.
But my situation is that when I took the passenger side A pillar out, I tried to put it back in but ended up demolishing the two pieces that hold it into the body. Now I'm wondering, do any of you guys have a clue where I can find the little blue plastic pieces that hold the pillars in? To be honest, I don't even know what they would be labeled as, &I have no clue where to find them. I'm probably going to go to a Toyota dealership if I can't find any soon.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, ask for pics &I'll show you the pieces I need.

Thanks for the help.

Pics would help. Are you just talking about the clips? If so they are fairly cheap at the dealer. One of the guys in my chapter bought a bag of 10 clips for $1.50 a few weeks ago. The ones that hold the rear panel of the tC interior break pretty easy.

Yeah, that would be the winner.
The clips are these little round ones that you'd figure you could find at an auto store. I found some for Ford, GM &Nissan &I didn't feel like risking buying clips that were too big or too small, you know?
But I'll definitely hit up the dealership asap, because I'm sick of having finished pieces that can't be put in place.
Thanks man!

Alright, well I'll be sure to set up a post when it's finished.
But it'll probably be a month or two since hand painting takes so long.
Let's just say my car is becoming the first Rasta Box.
