Looking for random brass clip behind rear interior panel, w123

[gregp1962]

There is a brass clip that holds the interior panel between the rear window and rear side window. Does anyone know where to get such a random thing?

have you tried epc?

you can find almost any hardware if you are patient

[gregp1962]

EPC what? When I Google epc there are too many results.

epc startekinfo

you'll need a subscription. used to be free. now its $35/year

really indispensable if you look for parts every now and then.

you can pull up your chassis and browse through schematics with part numbers.

this is the panel that the rear seatbelt goes through? correct?

this is what I could find on epc for chassis 123.153 not sure if its the same for '84
but I think it should be

good luck

[gregp1962]

I think that is the correct one. Yes, the seat belt goes through the panel. I paid $75 for the subscription and the site does not have any link or access to any parts info unless it is well hidden somewhere on the site. So, I don't have a way to order it.

[jabstick420]

I tried to save you the fee by posting the schematic and part #s...

the site is only for part numbers. there is no pricing or ordering. that will happen either at the dealer or third party. this site being my preferred vendor.

some of the hardware will have metric designation (m6, m8, etc). but for the most part you will just be seeing part #s and a brief description.

[gregp1962]

I googled the part number in the schematic that you provided and I have emailed a dealership in Cincinnati asking about the part. That part number was helpful.

[gregp1962]

I just found the part here on Peachparts and ordered it. I ordered by part number and there was no picture. I hope the schematic gave me the right part number. With shipping it is only $13.

[jabstick420]

hope its the correct part

[gregp1962]

If it's not the correct part, I'll have 3 spares of something. Thanks for the schematic. That's what got me the info I needed.
