That's nothing, just checked on eBay, how would you like to pay almost $45 for them.

Correct me but the listing looks like its for one clip, not a bag of 10 or something?

Or $77!!!!

Unfortunately the costs is so high because of the cost of packaging and administration.
They can hardly sell them for their cost of about 10 cents

Yeah but $70 postage?

I'll give mine a complete check, maybe the missing one is hiding some place.

Yeah but compared to the US eBay prices they are a bargain... though it's probably cheaper to check a wrecker or an shop that does audio and other work on cars, they could have some lying around or maybe some they keep just in case they break or go missing when working on cars.

Did you check your dealer with the part number? I know $3.35 is steep for what it is, but yeah compared to ebay... I can send you my remainders if you can't get them from your dealer.

EDIT: I think I've got 2 remaining. When I pulled off the fake-carbon-fibre-ish dash trim piece, there were 3 clips missing from the underside of that. Maybe somewhere in the dash, but I looked and couldn't see any, I assumed they'd have rattled around and ended up somewhere else.

Guys, go to a wreckers where you can pull off your own parts. I got 10 off a lancer at Jolly's in Dandy and they didn't even charge me for them

Had a better look for the missing clip... no luck.

Yes the wreckers are a good option as long as you know which cars to target or can find a wrecker who might have a container of them loose.

Got a link? Just had another quick look and couldn't find any of the right type, they were all the other two-piece type.

Huh, they are too. Nice, I couldn't find them anywhere searching with "Mitsubishi Clip" or anything like that. I'll definitely order some of these. Hopefully they are a little stronger and less prone to breaking than the default ones. If so, I might replace a whole bunch, as the shitty white ones break frequently.
