Windshield / cowl nut insert clips

[stommy989]

Greetings! First time poster here, long time Jeep owner since 2006

So I just cleaned out my cowl for the first time ever (2000 TJ... 25 years... it was time) due to water in the passenger floorboard after heavy rain.
In the process, one of the four screw heads broke off from the windshield cowl nuts because it was rusted so bad. I think it's called a plastic nut snap-in.

Fortunately, I was able to order a new set of screws all around, and the two U-nuts clips for the front that were also rotted. But I'm unable to find the plastic nut snaps that goes under the windshield. Anyone know a part number or if they still exist? I found one post regarding "6505366AA" as the possible PN, but seems to be discontinued. Any alternatives?

Thanks!

Sam

Measure and then check them on Clips and Fasteners. About the most painful way to do it, but it can work.

Hmmm nothing on C&F that resembles anything close to it, unfortunately.

You found all the plastic push in nuts and this isn't close?

Hmm that's interesting. Maybe I didn't see that because I filtered too specific.
It might work, but I'd almost be afraid of it being "too square" to fit in a mostly rectangular hole in the windshield and I'm stuck with 25 pieces. I might be better off with a local junkyard.

That's why I said to measure and then compare dimensions. I have never found anything on Clips and Fasteners by being very specific.
