DB9 Dashboard panels fasteners

[pschlute]

I have a 2005 DB9. The panel which surrounds the glove box is held in place by plastic fasteners with a metal clip at the top. Some of these have broken and I would like to replace them. My local AM garage spares department tell me that the plastic part of the fastener is actually part of the panel, and they can only supply the metal clip as a "spare".

I am sure someone on here has come up against this problem before and hopefully can recommend a generic fastener that I can glue in place. I enclose pictures of the back of the panel and a close up of the fastener.

ps. Is the same fastener used on the other dashboard panels/ski slope ? I intend to do some rattle investigation/sticky felt application, and am a bit worried if I break some of the other fasteners.

You are quite right - a very generic fastener as used in most cars.
Your best bet might be a trip to a breakers yard.

They look similar to the ones used on the ski slope but it's almost impossible to break those ones, so I wouldn't let that worry you.

Thanks for the advice. I managed to get the slope out without incident!
