Passenger side trim clips

The sound deadener under the glove box/dash keeps dropping down, on my 2007 XK. The clips are either missing or broken (previous owner I'm guessing). Is there an alternate source than the dealer (in the USA)? Nothing comes up on Ebay.

On my 07 the material was torn and the clips couldn't make it stay in place. My solution was to install Tinnerman Clips in the slots then ran sheet metal screws with small fender washers to hold the panel in place. Worked much better than the clips and when I needed to remove the panel it was easy to remove. More involved that the clips but the wife no longer complained about it falling down on her.

You can get replacement clips from ClipsNFasteners (something like that) online, not expensive. Do a search, they’ve come up in a couple of threads. I bought some, they work well. I also bought a replacement under panel, as my original was torn in a couple places (the replacement panel also comes with clips).
