“Hello, Parts, may I help you?”
“Yes, 2011 Mazda 3; the little nylon plastic clips that hold the door panel onto the door.”
“You got the VIN?”
“Seriously? Mazda 3, 6, 9; they’re all the same.”
“Which door?”
“Dude! they’re all the same, so right rear door.”
“Okay, we have four in stock and they’re $2.28 apiece.”
Well, four of these guys broke on each door .
So my daughter takes a survivor to O’Reilly and they have two packs of two clips each, $5.99 per pack.
I check Amazon: $5.18 for a pack of 50 . Prime. Gotta wait until Sunday to get them.
Lesson Lernt: Buy a bag of the clips before you do the door panel pulling project.

The bolts that hold my 2012 Focus under shield
on, were gradually breaking. Go to dealership.....$5.58 PER BOLT!!! These aren’t CAT grade 8 1 inch by 3 inch long LOL. (Although those are like $30 a bolt)....anyways....go to edmonton fastener and supply they gave them to me for free.

I had to get some of these:
I paid $2.71 a piece plus shipping, looks like you can get them cheaper in the UK, but that doesn’t help me much in the US, and it’s not a part where a generic stand-in will work.

Yes. And the car probably runs better now as well.

Generic stand-in. On my 97 Safari.
