Default Door Panel Question

I'm taking my Trans Am to my dads this Christmas, and we are going to change out my window motors.

He used to work in a shop as an ASE cert. mechanic and knows cars inside-out, and mentioned that I should buy some replacement clips for the door panels because they are known to break.

When I look at the window motor guide, I don't see anywhere where that would happen.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

If they do exist, and can break, I couldn't find a part # in the thread here. If anyone knows what it is, could you post it please?

Thanks.

Only "clips" involved are the tiny ones for the switch panels on each side in the arm rests? They're metal and don't break - usually the probem is losing one or breaking the plastic panel slots where they slide into.
