If you've repaired your window motor or regulator you probably broke a few of the door panel clips or the door-side hole bushings. I wanted a replacement for the OEM style as these seem to break easily and are not cheap unless you are getting a deal on shipping or waiting for some from overseas. The bushing cracks and then does not hold, and sometimes the pokey-bit on the door card breaks off, shears off, and this happens a lot if you do not manually align them carefully before popping the panel back on.

I bought a 415 pack of various fasteners like this off ebay for $12 as I saw a few possibilities in there. Sure enough I found one that works perfectly once the cracked bushing is knocked out. It's the fuzziest of fuzzy caterpillar or "Christmas Tree" style retainer from the kit. It's called an A133 style. The ones I got from the "HE-06 415 piece kit" have a 15mm head and about 11mm diameter... bristles? ribs? whatever. They seem to fit and work perfectly. They look to be sized for a 3/8" hole, 5/8" head.

I think there are 20 in this kit I got for under $12 shipped:

This is actually a pretty good deal IMO, and the other clips look to be useful, at least some of them will be. You might find a Dorman kit locally on the Help! rack if you need some in a hurry but I did not see anything that looked like what I ended up buying. These are known as "Christmas Tree" retainers.

For a match for just the A133 part that is cheaper still, search for "A133 9.8mm" and you can get a bucket of them from China for $8 if you do Aliexpress.
Note that the part I got in the 415 piece kit does not match any size in the listing detail, and also that the A133 is sometimes listed for a smaller hole diameter as well and with a 7.7mm pin diameter (which is what I think is shown in the sizes diagram for the 415pc kit). But what was in the kit I bought was the larger hole size A133.
