Autocruise Ducato PVC decor panel clips

[Joules]

Hi
I've got an Autocruise Ducato PVC 2013. The decor panel on the sliding door is held on by "fir tree" clips. They have all broken as a result of previous owner repairing the door handle cable so the panel needs to be reattached every time the door is shut. I've searched the Internet for these clips but cant find the exact size and our local Swift dealer can't help. I have tried ones tantalisingly similar but not good enough so panel is still flapping.
Anyone know a supplier? (Why don't Swift deal direct with the public?!)

Thanks. I have looked at 100s. I have even adapted some by careful cutting and sanding. I just needed Swift to give me a few but no doubt my model is too old now at 9 yrs...

These should do

Thanks but these are for external trim not Swifts own internal plastic trim.

I would have thought the clips for the Ducato sliding door trim could be brought from a Fiat van dealer (or , as said , from e-bay) ,and would not be an Autocruise/Swift part.

I have a 2013 Autocruise Alto and recently had the same dilemma - wanted to remove the rear door trim and it’s almost impossible to do without breaking a few clips.

I found posts here or on another group recommending these clips - they were very close but still wouldn’t go in the hole even with a lot of force.

Pardon our interruption...

I ended up enlarging the holes ever so slightly with a (9mm?? doubting myself now!) drill bit, they now fit perfectly.

If you do manage to find others which fit without drilling, I’d also be interested to know!
