Default Where to buy doorskirt fasteners or stock door skirt?

Hello,

My passenger door skirt fell off when I hit a curb not too long ago in my 2005 mustang.(Pic 1 is a picture of my skirt before the accident). I have been successful in reattaching the door skirt. However the only problem is there were a few skirt fasteners that I failed to recover. It gets worse because autozone or anywhere i can google has the exact look that match my fasteners (Please see pictures 2 and 3 below)

A - Try to find replacement door skirt fasteners online.
PRO: Least expensive (I would think) but I am having a terrible time finding them online. The fasteners for my door skirt are the xmas tree type with hooks on both sides... see picture below

B - Try to buy a stock passenger side doorskirt
Problem: I can't find it anywhere to purchase. Plus, I really dont need a whole doorskirt. I would just be purchasing it for the door skirt fastners

C- Buy a full aftermarket doorskirt from companys like rousch or 3dcarbon
Problem: I dont really want to buy an aftermarket doorskirt. They are expensive and i dont want to prep and paint anything

So basically I'm looking for help advice for Options A or B. Where can I find them?

Thanks for your help

If you have a Tru-Valu hardware store nearby, take a look in their hardware department. They tend to have a really good selection unusual items like metric screws and bolts, and panel fasteners. Also, don't get too hung up on the getting the exact same style of panel fastener that came with your car. As long as you have the correct diameter of the holes, you should be able to find something that works, even if it doesn't look exactly like the ones Ford provided.

Door skirt, lol.
Without the picture, I'd never guessed...

Your local Autozone, Discount will have those as well.
The push on, long black clips, underneath that piece don't tend to re-use very well.
Check those out...

It is probably a dealer item only. They should sell them in a pack of 5 or 10.
