    Hi guys, I'm working on a 06 center console swap and have run into an obstacle- I need 4 of these clips to create threads to fasten my manual climate control with screws where the auto climate used plastic clips. Thre are 2 on the console support already, so I know they'll work. A part number or part name would help greatly, alternatively if you have 4 spares I'd like to buy them from you.

    Picture of part:

    Thanks for any help you might have!

    I did the same thing. I improvised and used zipties to hold the bottom two tabs down. They've held for years and never had an issue.

    That's probably what I'm going to do if I can't find the proper clips. I will have to use the existing clips for the lower climate mounts since there's little space for a spring clip, the upper and lowermost ones have adequate space, though.

    No worries, I found a couple inserts that might work from Toyota land- I'll let y'all know if they work out!
