I am looking for 4 of the clips that locate the armrest to the door.  There are 2 in each door.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   :bigthumb:

Attached is picture for reference.

Thank you, Wayne

Van's Auto appears to have them for $10 a pair.

Just looking at their ad, it could clarified more, but it's not wrong. It doesn't have "Challenger listed, or E Body listed, but it does say "Barracuda" which is not wrong because the 1969 and earlier Barracudas use that style clip :brainiac: :alan2cents:

@Wayne  I have a spare set of 70 challenger door shells ,that I will need to use one day.  I'll strip the 4 clips from them , So you can mount your door panels and pull cups .I can always try to replace them later. Moparfest is a good place to look.  Pm me if you like.

Is this basically a #14 spring nut / J or U-nut?  I looked in MMC Fastener Guide and could not find them called out, found the screw, but no clip.  I need to dig up an original as I am sure that we can source a suitable replacement.  If someone has an original and does not mind taking and posting some measurements, that would be great.  Thanks for the knowledge.

I bought some from AMK that will work, but they look nothing like the originals  :alan2cents:

After you mentioned they were not for e bodies, I re-read the description and I agree it appears to be accurate. I guess what fooled me was the fact that the Van's website link to the item itself has "e body" in the body of it..... https://vansauto.com/product/65-74-body-b-body-c-body-e-body-armrest-retaining-clips/

@Wayne . Just watched your video on the red door panels. Great video and  very nice car. If I had known the 4 door clips were going such a nice car I would have cleaned them up before mailing them out. Hopefully you receive the clips by the end of the next week.

Thanks I appreciate it the comments.

This has been a huge help!  Not in a big rush for them so that will work out perfect.

Anybody who wants a replacement clip that will work request Papco 910-1495 at your local parts store (package of three clips - not sure if sold individually). It is not as wide as the original clip (so appearance is off) but it will secure into the correct location (depth/length wise) to accept the original #14 metal screw.
