Default Plastic Pushpins for Trunk Panels

Where the hell do I get these things at? I tried autozone and got the ones for a ford (they were almost exactly like the one I brought in) and they fit in the hole but they were too loose in the slot on the panel itself. So where can I get these and maybe a part number?

I got some from autozone that worked perfect. Let me see if I can find the box and I'll let you know what they were.

These are the ones I used:







They're not an exact match, but worked perfectly for me.

These are the ones that lock and unlock the spare tire panel correct? These just look like body clips more or less.. im probably thinking of the wrong thing im guessing

I needed the ones APG posted. The past 2 I bought were too loose. I brought in an old one and I tried matching them up. I just don't want them to be loose because my subs rattle the **** out of the panels back there so I want it tight.
I've tried ACE (I work there haha) I might swing into lowes tomorrow to check.
Tex- I also need some black ones of the twist locks for the passenger side but I might just use one of the smooth circular body pushpins there

I got them from autozone, so they should have them. They fit nice and tight on mine.

Just a heads up on those, if you are missing or lost the foam spacers that go between those twist locks and the panel and it rattles around and such, i fixed it with some left over ac weather stripping just punched a hole in it and cut it off the roll works pretty well.
