Default Overhead console metal spring clip

I am looking for an overhead console metal spring clip, see picture below.
I have not even been able to find a part number for one. If you have any info where to get one or part#, please let me know.

It is the clip in the red circle at the bottom of the next picture.

Not being a smart aleck but the missing one is probably in the mount still attached in the overhead where the two in you picture should be. Remove them and reinsert them into the overhead mount.
If you don't have the 3rd one then start looking for one at the auto salvage yards.

My broken clip was purchased at a dealer. Part # for this clip is different than #(12) other 2 clips. Correct # JZE100040 #13 on the SNG Cat. parts diagram.

Default Found it in my box of parts taken off my 99 XK8

Ash

Here it is.




I’ll post both the little and big one, as I found the little one too small for a snug fit into the overhead hole. I went with the big one.

Thanks David, you are a lifesaver, plus once it's installed I will be able to drive with 2 hands again, not one on rhe wheel and one holding up the console.
