Poppers/Clips In The Ceiling Splint

[SlothBurger]

I sound-deadened and carpet-lined my ceiling and ceiling panels at the weekend. That ceiling splint that runs across the middle has some black hidden clips in it and I broke one of them taking it out.
What's the correct name for these clips/poppers so I can buy some spares?

Mine looked bit different than those. I of course forgot to take a photo. They are just the pin part on top without the square sections sticking out. Mine just squashed into the receiving plastic side in the metal rib in the van when I pushed them back in. It was the plastic bit in the metal rib of the vsn that snapped on one.

This is the only other clip I've got that came out of the roof

It's the second linked clips. They just have a plastic pin that wedges into the plastic part in the roof. So many different clips. Thanks.

I ordered something similar to those last ones ....absolutely useless. Broke trying to fit them .
You might be better off with the first 'first tree' type offerings from my experience.
The pin things aren't long enough on the originals to cope with the extra thickness added .

I drilled through mine in the end and used machine screws to hold it up as I'd ran out of time and patience.

Yeh this was my experience too in that one of the flanges split when fitting them back in. Only one gone so for now the others are holding in place. It looked like if I tried fit those "tree" type that I'll need to refit all the flanges in the metal roof rib section too. I'll buy both though to have them ready. There's so many different clips and poppers. VW could have used similar ones to the rest of the panels in this splint part.
