Question Source for door panel rubber washers?
Anyone have a good source for the ultra thin rubber washers used on the plastic clips that hold the door panels in place? I've lost a few and will probably loose more before all is said and done. While not structural, I think they are there to reduce squeaking.

When I took my door panels off, I dropped a couple of those damn things, took a while for me to find them on my (dark) tiled floor. In the process of looking I was thinking of what I cold replace them with if I could not fine them. Those "Hole" savers used on paper after the hole is torn in a 3 ring note book came to mind. I never checked, but it might work! Be safe.

If I can't find a source I might try taking a rubber bushing about the same diameter and slicing it very thing with a razor blade.

Paint around the clip holes in the door with liquid electrical tape, let it dry and then snap the panel on. Will serve the exact same purpose and you will never need to worry about losing those gaskets again.
