Question Where can I get A pillar clips?

I've looked everywhere and I can't find anyone who carries them. I broke mine when I was taking off my A-pillars off. Is there another method that I could use? Other than gluing them on that is...

If they are going to be covered, could you use binder clips? The smallest ones are pretty small and could easily be covered if there is a seal or maybe a bit of headliner that overlaps. The chrome tabs are easily removed so they don't stick out at all.
Just an alternate idea I thought i'd throw out there.

That sounds interesting... didn't thought of that! I'll definitely try, thanks!

Im not 100% sure on what clip you are talking about. I think you mean the ones that secure the A pillar trim into that gap in the A pillar body metal?

A pillar clips

I think the W123 clips are the same. I can send you three for free. Just send me your address.
