    67 Riviera dash pad, three screws that go up into the dash. Where can I buy these, or at least what are they?

    Sorry John thought you meant the screws not the clips. Those clips you have posted are for the door panels, they insert into the door then there's barbed pins on the back of the door panel that push into those clips to hold it onto the door. It's quite possible they were used for the screws for the dash pad too?

    Yes I thought so, but they appear to be the same ones for the dash pad. GM might have done it to cut costs, which is not a bad idea.

    I was thinking the same thing and editing my post at the same time you made that comment LOL

    If you wander around your local hardware store you'd probably find something that would work. Especially if there is a cabinet repair section. Obviously it wouldn't be "correct" but it might get you on the road faster and would be covered..

    One of the auto parts store I frequent has a book on the counter that has a foldout book FULL of different auto body fasteners as was I waiting for parts I was browsing through it & there must have been about a 25 different sizes of those fasteners pictured.
    I don't know if you have a Levines auto/truck parts store near you, BUT if there is one close buy you may want to give it a shot.

    I got the push in screw retainers from my local parts store when I replaced the dash on the Wildcat. Someone in the past ahd filled the holes with hot glue and tried to screw into that. FAIL! Had to buy 2 packs to get the amount of retainers I needed. Can post a pic if ya need.

    That would be very helpful Briz, always good to look at someone's who did it correct.

    FYI
    Ames Performance also sells them individually. Used on the dash pad of GTOs.

    Here is one place, but AMES is also excellent. There used to be a company called Just Clips, I think, that sold sets of clips for our years of cars--can;t seem to find them on the net righ now. They may be out of business, of course, but they had everything there was for our cars. Anyone remember them and know where they are now?
