I remember a user here having a hard time getting them once...

Yeah, that clip? Basically does nothing... It's held on by that one screw, really.

Anyone know how to get extra ones?

eBay normally has atleast two or three sets of all three pieces. I have not seen anyone selling just the center section. Let me know if you would like pointers to the ones on eBay right now.

Do you know if they are the same covers as the camaro's? If so, let me know as I am willing to sell mine but the only thing is that I want to sell all 3 covers and the leather case.
