97 Sunfire rocker-panel cover clips

The little plastic clips that hold the plastic rocker panel cover on.
I have checked all the parts stores, no luck on line, can't get the old ones off without breaking them.
Does anyone have a source for these little ##@$%%!!s ?

Thankx 4 your reply, Sunfiretun3r. I hadn't tried gmpartsdirect.com. No luck so far, they have a part number on them, but I don't have one with me. I'll try that later.
Gmpartsdirect.com looks like a good source, I found a rear quarter-panel for my convertable, but it ain't cheep. Makes a little Bondo seem not so bad after all.

Sure if you can't find them snap a pic for me and I'll see if I can get some from my work. If I can, I'll ship them flat rate.

Hello!! What's this? ... If I lay belly down in the mud, I can see little access holes, with rubber grommets in them. I can just reach in and compress the back of the clip, with a pair of ''hook-nosed, needle-nosed pliers. I can re-use the old ones ... the day is saved, etc.
I am not believing that I am the only one that ever tore one of these things up, and tried to replace it. Somebody is not 'fessing up.

Hey, Zs Z , I'd say that these things are not too hard. But I haven't done it yet. For some reason they didn't provide access holes for every clip, but I can raid the junkyard for plenty more. Right now I'm looking for the right pliers(long enough) to reach up in there. I was lucky in that I found the plastic rocker cover in the right color, so I don't have to paint it. Good Luck man.
