Default Spring clips for interior trim

Hey everyone. I'm taking some interior trim pieces off and looking for the little metal spring clips that sit on top of the plastic clips. These pieces have a tendency to pop off and disappear, and I'd like to have some on hand.

Does anyone know the part number for these, or an online place to order?

The metal snaps end up in the receiving piece and typically will fall on the other side (if they dont end up flying in your work area).

I would go to my local Lexus parts dept. By the time you pay shipping handling and take a chance with would they fit or not, jut pay the extra $1-3 and enjoy the snacks.

Yup, I'm all for going to the Lexus dealer, just looking to have the p/n with me. Made my first trip there the other day to have a key made and the parts guy had the personality of a wet mop. I asked him a couple of general questions and he was less than helpful. I figure if I have the p/n or the correct name it'll make life easier.

Its their job to find the part number for you and get the needed parts. Next time ask for a different parts person or if needed visit the parts manager. They are not trained technicians, so avoid asking technical questions.

Here in Austin, Lexus has a fine parts dept. I visit them more than the service dept/
