Default Plastic retainers for 4th gen hatch interior plastic panel?

I need to replace the plastic christmas tree type clips that hold the plastic trim on the inside of the hatch. GM part # is 10193261. Looks like this:



I can't find them for less than about $5 each. Does anyone have either a source for reasonably priced retainers or is there another p/n I can substitute?

have you checked the HELP aisle at your local parts store to see if they have anything close?

I actually need some myself, my driver side hatch plastic is missing one, I also need to get some new hood bump stops mine are shot and one is missing so the PO replaced it with a bolt some washers and a couple nuts (see picture) and the one on the other side is there but the threaded section is just fallen off so I need to fix that before my new hood gets here.

Zombie thread alert!

I need these too and am having the same problem; best I can find on that actual part number (or its successor, 10235491), is $25 for a single clip.

I just ordered
this Amazon part this Amazon part
, which says it's for Fords; it'll be here in a couple days. Amazon has 10 for $5.99 (59 cents each), 100 for $14.99 (15 cents each), or any of several price points in between depending on quantity. I only need three at the moment, but I went for the 100-pack, because at that price why not?

Maybe I'll list the remaining 97 on eBay for $19.99 apiece plus shipping. I could make almost two grand!

If it fits, I'll report back here and let everybody know.

If that link dies in the future, the Ford part number is N801925-S.

The above part did not fit. Looks right, but slightly too small; the christmas tree bits don't hold in holes designed for the correct part. These have an 8mm shank; the holes measure 9.5, so I need an 11mm or 7/16" shank.

My search continues!

Well, I ordered some
10mm christmas tree clips 10mm christmas tree clips
, and they came today. They fit, but I also happened to find the original clips, which I thought were lost. So I used those instead, and now I have a ton of these fasteners for future projects! The linked clips have round shanks vs the OEM ones which are square. The OEM clips are also longer.

I'm actually looking for these clips too. I tried the universal ones from Autozone that looked like a perfect match but just like the ones you found, a bit too small and don't stay in very tight.

The 10mm clips you found - how would they go into the hatch trim so it can clip to the liftgate? I know you said you just went with your factory clips you had laying around but my factory clips broke, not looking to spend $25 per clip either...

The clips I found don't have that additional layer at the top of the clip. For my use case (rearmost edge of the under-dash cover panels), that additional layer is not needed, but it's the same part number as the liftgate clips. If that second layer is important when it comes to the liftgate, then the ones I found likely wouldn't work.
