No doubt several vendors sell them but haven't seen any photos. Are these the little guys that slide into the sail panels to hold them in place, or just similar?
cheers

Interior sail panels? If that's what you mean, the sail panels don't use clips like that. The sail panels only use 3 screws on each one...there's one for the coat hook and one behind that, and another further back on the tail part. On the tail end of the sail panels, there's a metal slide clip that's embedded into the sail panel plastic. The tails of the panels overlap the center piece that's under the back glass on each end being secured by the metal clips sliding over each end of the center piece.

Hmm...I remember seeing diagrams showing clips but don't have the body manual here to check. Maybe it was the lower rear panels with arm rests?

So the clip on the end, and three screws, and then the inner sail panels should be free? There's two round lugs on the rear of a spare I have here which I assumed were the locations of the clips I thought they had, maybe they are just spacers off the sheetmetal.

Yes, on the sail panels, remove the 3 screws and pull it forward and it comes off.
None in the rear armrest panels either.
There are some plastic plugs similar to that in the roofrail trims on the sides of the headliner on a hardtop car though.
And I think there are some in the door panels.

Just found the diagram I was thinking of in the 1978 Body manual, Rear Quarters section 6-7, screws and retaining clip.
