I can't seem to find the clips that go in the door seal panels? Can anyone inform me where I can purchase some of these clips?
This is what I used to replace broken clips. Can't say they are the original, but they work. I thought that I overbought on these, but each time I pull the door sill plate I usually break one or two.

I accidentally purchased some clips that were for door panels, the ones you sent look a bit to big. These are for the plate that go on the bottom of the door where you step in?

If you look in the body where the clips press in, you will (if your car is like mine) see black plastic receivers for the white plastic pin. I had to remove the black plastic receivers because I didn't have the strength or leverage to pull the new pins apart. It was a pain to remove them.
I then slid the entire new clip - both the black and white pieces conected together - into the sill plate and pressed the sill down. They snapped into place nicely. I believe these are the correct ones, because the next time I pulled the sill out a couple of those snapped and they looked just like the others. Also, the description implies they are for the sill plate.
Are these the same clips, 67771-12050 ?
I ordered some that will arrive in a week or so - ebay item no. 322647556041, 10 for $1.50
That's quite cheap. A tangent.... I was looking at the same kind of clips used in a BMW I'm repairing and they go for $7 CAD per clip if ordered through the dealership.

Ah I guess what confused me is the clips have a thin perfect circular body. I didn't realize the black housing shell or w.e could possibly be in the vehicle still.

The "receiver" part that is still in the body is not easy to remove. I tried the special tool for removing the clip(working end shaped like a "C") and that failed miserably. I then resorted to needle nose pliers. Be careful about prying the black piece out - you can easily grab and bend the metal which the black piece goes into (ask me how I know )

Hahaha this is starting to seem like a much bigger and more delicate task then I had originally thought it would be, but I have 2 broken clips currently i'd like to fix.
Could I easily remove the receiver from the new clips, and just utilize the actual clip part and push those into the already in the vehicle receivers?

I tried that but couldn't pry them apart without breaking the black piece. I did not try to use a boxcutter and cut of the black piece, however.

Clips arrived today - took 2 weeks.
The retainer push-in is different, but otherwise look identical and work great.
I searched ebay for "Retainer Clip 67771-12050 For Toyota Lexus" and found green, purple and red ones.
I'm using these for the front seat belt cover panels - still trying to find the squeak under these panels.
The door sill clips are blue.

Hi, just to clarify you were able to get these clips to fit in the Door-sill? [the bottom trim that has the silver plate that says "Lexus" across it?] On the floor of the cabin?

I had not removed one of the blue clips before.
The green ones are a bit longer, but I test fit one and it worked fine.
There is sufficient clearance under the body panel for the longer retainer pin.
Hey guys, I just wanted to be perfectly clear on this so I took some more photos and removed the broken clip in question [which was quite hard to get out..].
If I am not mistaken, based on what @mtellup has told me. The clips he ordered are the correct clips, the issue with them is they come in the black housing. I can either remove the black housing that is already in the door frame, or I can break the shell off of the new clips to insert them into the existing housing?

The white, green and blue clips in my pics are for the rear door sill plates.
I had not removed a front sill plate until a few minutes ago, the fronts are different, just like in your pics.
One of the white stud clips broke while removing the front sill plate.
I pulled the black ring out of the body hole and replaced the 2 pieces with a green clip which is working fine.
