anyone know the part number for the clips?

 

jraben,

Have you called the dealer about this? They might be able to give you that information.

Evan, Chevrolet Customer Service

 

The Chevrolet part number is:

20845113 Retainer 11.358

If anyone can find an equivalent el-cheapo part that can be ordered in bulk that would be great! I tried a bunch of things at AutoZone with no luck.

 

GM is nuts with their parts pricing for small consumable items. Almost four bucks for one lousy fastener that should be about sixty cents.
Now I know how they paid off the bailout so fast!
I just bought a couple of the rubber plugs used for covering the lift gate holes where the spoiler mounts, they were similarly priced.
They must be using "price matrixing", argh....
Oh well if it means saving the General from a terrible demise, I will do my part

 

Who paid off there bailout ? GM ? OH you mean the story in the news. Also I have very high and dry land here in Florida for a real low price.......

A good online source for retainers but not sure of what size for HHR seat back panel.

 

Nice find there drhamon.

and Welcome - we hope you find some helpful info on the site here.

 

I have been trying to get my seat back panel re-attached for, like, at least two years. What are the actual clips CALLED? I have spent hours searching for them and just have no idea what to call them. Front Seat Back Panel Clips?

 

Retainer, seat back.
The part number is listed above in post #13. Do a search for that number. I found them in about 1 minute.
