....As seen in the picture I have plastic clips on most but 2 are metal (on my work FE SE) and I seem to be missing one plastic one.
Can someone find a part # for these clips PLEASE (if you have access to a manual)? ....
@dfran1, replying here per your PM request ...

I have the OEM workshop manual but FYI like all such manuals I've seen it does NOT include part numbers for anything other than special tools - never the actual vehicle part numbers.

For the panel you picture my '14 has a mix of metal and plastic clips on all the flat projecting studs. It's not uncommon for some of them, especially the plastic ones, to stay in the socket rather than on the stud when you pull the speaker-cover panel and they can then fall into the lower dash area. BTW, to fully remove the panel for access, when lifted as in your pic, unplug the CD slot lamp then rotate the whole thing to the driver's side to release the 'keeper stud' at the back of the panel [toward the front of the car] ;-)

Your best bet for finding any PN for your specific vehicle is surfing the parts fiche on one of the many online OEM parts dealers or go to your local dealer.
