Does anybody know where I can find part number 05097710AA or also known as 5097710AA? These are the small white plastic interior clips that hold the interior panels in place. I need several and I can not find any anywhere. Is there some other clip that will fit ok? It seems to be an odd size as most of my clips are either to big or to small. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Do not use the Chrysler part number, use the Mercedes number.
look for the thread ‘Plastic Clips’.
You can buy them on eBay. CLICK

 

I see the MB number for the black two part push connector, but I don’t see any MB number for the white interior clip. Am I just missing it?

 

I revised my previous post to add the part you want, they are tough to insert and it should be done when it is warm.

 

I searched the threads with the part number and not much came up, However when I saw the thread you sent me, that helped a lot. Adding the eBay link was just too sweet. I hit buy right away at that price. Thank you for your help! This forum is a great resource.

 

Thanks 180
i used the link as well

much appreciated

 

6 bucks for 50 clips is good, 13 bucks for shipping is not so good, uh Dave?

 

The clip is correct, shipping in the US via USPS is free, but I did not notice the US shipper.
He gets them from China and so should we, I did.

Years ago when I did my drooping headliner fix, I bought the white clips from an ebay seller. When they came, I put just a little dab of Vaseline on the tapers where they pop into the hole. Just that little extra help was a great help in reassembly. You don't need to smother it in the stuff, it just helps slide in easier. I heard many have trouble lining up the clips with the holes, just take your time and go slow. A small high intensity flashlight helps with seeing deep in the dark caverns. Good luck!

George, maybe you should write an adult Crossfire Service Manual, rated X? LOL...
