headliner clips/a piller
first off i searched.
But Last year when i removed my headliner board, i broke all the clips(most of them) and Im pretty sure I ruined the back of the A piller that holds clips in place. I was just wondering How I can fix this, ghetto rig some thing that looks nice(not sloppy) or where I can buy all new clips. I also need to know what glue is the best, ive heard bad things about super77 yet everyone says to get that

Damn, i guess the Clips wouldnt be that bad, but getting new A pillars is going to blow, considering I now need a full set of interior plastics and A pillers verses just plastics, ahh the price you pay for a perfect interior

You know what guys, it just dawned on me, I bet a majority of headliners install with the same clips. Those clips can't be third gen specific, try the dealer or a upholstery shop. And like Randy stated, nice pillers are not hard to come by.

if you want a quick fix and you are going to buy new a pillars eventually i used epoxy and its working pretty well. the set time is kinda long for most but just set some clamps on it with a nice pad along your roof so you dont damage you car. the 5 minute works for a little while (3 months) until it got to around 10 degrees but its not made for hard plastic and metal so it doesnt bond right. right now i have a 5000 psi epoxy that im doing to mine when i get my car back from the shop and that should keep those a pillars on for a long time even if i hang on them but itll cause a nice problem when i do my custom headliner in two months

For the record, a-pillar clips are Auveco #16865, but I'm not sure about the headliner clips. You can buy Auveco parts from The Clip Link for a great price, but they have a $25 min. order.

for the clips just go to the help isle in pepboys and you can find a variety of types clips for just a few dollars... i paid like $4 for 16 of em
as for the a-pillar, you could try fiberglassing it or just use the fiberglass resin for stiffin the area that the clips go into
