Re: Removing retainer clips

I may have missed it in the thread, but where can one find these copper clips?

I've looked at PI's website and searced the internet but haven't located any.

Also mine are solid in place so to remove the handle in my rear door I used a screwdriver to split the retainer down the middle and pulled it out in two pieces. I wouldn't recommend that method unless you have to. (soaked it for days in pb blaster and it still wouldn't budge)

I figured I couldn't hurt the bit in the door anymore than it was already messed up.

Has anyone had expirience with the bit in the door being bent or damaged and have replaced it or fixed it somehow?

[Edit] the "bit" I'm referring to is the metal "slide" that the retaining clip slides into. Are these spot welded to the door? Or are they gel on some other fashion?
