Fabric? I think they are just plastic molded like fabric. If what your talking about is not what I am thinking you mean, then 'ooops'.

I'm watching the hockey game right now.
Edit
Look at page two in this PDF by Rekah for pictures of the clips.
I think these are the clips.
I think your right on, but what do I know? That 'clip' fleabay seller is selling the MB clips that look exactly like the ones I got for the upper left and right rear trim panels when I did the headliner re-covering job last month (had to remove the two rear upper trim panels to get the headliner out and broke a few of the clips). There are 7 in each trim piece and they are a perfect fit for that as well. Nice to see and know they are also exact fit for a few more applications in our cars.
