Is there a fix for the broken white plastic clips? Seems that I have three broken on the drivers side and all on the passenger side. I just bough this truck and seriously do not want to buy new door panels. Picture for reference. Thank you in advace

If you can’t fix this FYI door panels on these vehicles are pretty cheap. I think a few hundred each.

Clips are not serviceable, part of the whole door panel

You can repair these arm rests, but it is a hassle. Removing the door panel, laying it out to work on etc... The procedure is on You tube and will probably take a couple hours.
If you do not have the original clips, you can sub with hardware from any home furnishing store. I also used epoxy to strengthen.

If you get to the clips, try to match them up to clips in link.

Most likely the route I'm going to take. I did watch a couple videos on YT. Thank you.

I saw oem new are 400 to 600 online.

Yeah that’s cheap for OEM whole door panel. Some vehicles are $1500+.

For my challenger:


$1800 online and $2600 from the dealer. $600 is a steal.

For $600 I’d just buy a new one it’s not even worth the time to try and repair it.
