Does anyone know where i can find those plastic christmas tree fastners for the hatch? Mine are mostly all busted, and my hatch rattles like no other, the dealer wants 10 dollars for a 10 pack, and i think thats a *bit* much. Would auto parts stores have them, and are they sold in one size only? Thanks.

My local Pep Boys has tons of them in different sizes.

I realize SoCal is a bit far for you to travel but I'll bet your local parts store has them too. ;)

Odds are pretty good that you've broken not the tree, but the retaining clip in the panel. A little work with the razor will get the clip to slot nicely into the remaning "stump" of the retaining clip, and if you throw some JB weld in there with it, it'll be at least as strong as the original if not betterhttp://img224.imageshack.us/img224/7647/clips11ih.jpg
