Ok.. my story on stealerships.

I need about 18 new plastic popthingies that
hold on the door plastic. The old ones are
breaking and the door squeeks.

Dealer cost 2.25 EACH!
my discount dealer cost 1.80 each...

All that money for the most complicated and
high tech piece of plastic ever created.

A teeny friggin spot of yellow injection molded
plastic made by the millions probably in China.

Bulk from thecliplink.com, ..get this..
A box of 50 for 6$

They also have the headlight adjusters and
other fiddly bits. Downside is a 20$ min
order, but I just picked up a selection of
most every plastic connector the ZJ uses.

My plastic door panels break where the clips fit too, so I just use
silicone like we use for bath room caulking:
http://www.----------.com/siliconeII.jpg Just use a little masking tape
to hole it temporarily. And just pulls loose if I have to get in there
again. Dampens the extra vibrations form those two hundred watt speaker
we put in there

Usually I just plasticweld cracks (looks like a large hotmelt gluegun)
but the little tree/door pops should be cheap enough to just replace
when they bust. It's not like the ZJ is a rare vehicle. Heck, in my
old truck I just used long sheet metal screws and cone washers.
