Does anyone have a source for those little metal clips on the top of the knee panel (with the vent thingie) -- they're simple little metal doodads but I can't seem to find them... and I know they'll be 1 billion dollars from LR directly...

Post a pic and I'll sell you some for slightly less than a billion dollars.

 

Abran is a reputable source, I have dealt with him for a few used parts in the past. Something as small as those clips would not amount to much for shipping charges, although, you could see what else you need and bundle the shipping.

I have lost those clips in the past, they are in all sorts of places in the dash. Nothing a flashlight and an extendable magnet tool couldn't work out. Placing a bit of tape or wire or anything similar in a well planned manner will prevent this loss next time.

 

Than you for the endorsement! Now to sell some billion dollar clips...

 

The silver one below is Land Rover part # FYC500040

The black one below is Land Rover part # IPN500090

I think you are referring to the silver ones. They probably also have a Ford part number and are half the price at Ford. As such, you might take one to a Ford dealer and show it to them - someone will probably recognize it.

I suspect they are in the Ford Flex as around about 2008 their interiors were identical knockoffs of the 3.

 

Yep, those silver ones were the ones I was looking for. I found as stated above, they're used all over the interior. I pulled 2 of them off of the cigarette level of the dash since it was still held in with 2 screws on the ends anyway. Solved my issue for today, but I do appreciate the finding of them! I'll stop by a ford dealer and see if I can find them for a reasonable price. If I do, I'll link the part number!

Thanks again!
