Looking for Lower Molding Retainer

[kramttocs]

Anyone know a place to purchase this plastic piece that goes into the trim itself?
Been watching LMC for a year and they seem to always be out. Plus shipping is more than a handful of these are. Probably should just reuse the old at this point but would like to find fresh.

LMC: 40-1665

Scott, do you know the engineering number? The LMC picture seems somewhat generic and I am not sure if "D" is a screw or fastener?

If, by chance, that is the part, Dennis Carpenter has some:

Thanks for checking on this.
Sadly I haven't been able to find an eng number. Have looked through the 'R' fastener reference, called LMC to see if they had a cross reference, checked with ebay sellers, performed various other online searches but no luck.

This one is similar to the yellowish ones you found but instead of a hole for the pop rivet, these have a prong that goes into the truck similar to the over-the-wheelwell trim.

Scott - Have you tried to find them via the part number?  You probably know, but to do that you have to come up with the two-character code for the retainer and then turn that code into the part number on our page at Documentation/Exterior/EXTERIOR MOULDING RETAINERS

And you can get the code on the drawing below:

Thanks Gary. That's the R doc I had checked and is extremely useful. Really thought it would have them. I'll check again tomorrow but all the photos I found for the numbers were the truck side of the molding.

It is just 6:30ish and I've not had even a sip of my coffee, so I have an excuse.  But I don't understand "the truck side of the molding".  

[kramttocs]

Sorry, I meant truck side of the retainer. Meaning that I kept finding pictures of the barrel nuts.
Looks like my problem was trying to do this all on my phone.
Once I got to the pc and viewed the documentation I found this is (LB) = e0tz-9929033-a
Dennis Carpenter has a lot of them.

Thanks!

Glad you found them.
