Roof trim clips
I come cap in hand seeking help from the board in regard to the trim clips on the outer edges of the roof trim/panel.
I have tried my local MB dealer with no joy in regard to the clips of which I need a complete clip which includes the plastic clip that glues to the roof cap lining and the metal clip that ties it to the actual roof.
The plastic clip I believe is only sold as part of the roof lining cap but the metal part is sold but they cant track a number down for it.
I am asking if a board member has a complete clip consisting of the two parts - the plastic and the metal clip for sale off and old parts car or the like.
I will attach a pic of the clip location in question on the roof cap lining when I get home tonight

There are some u-shaped plastic pieces that are glued to the headliner and plastic push fasteners (like on a door panel) that push into holes in the roof. The u-shaped pieces are not available separate from the headliner. The push fasteners are #75 in the diagram above.
