'97 Suburban Rear Cargo Door Panel

[df2x4]

So I noticed yesterday while I was replacing some tail light bulbs in my Suburban that the passenger side carpeted panel on the rear barn doors is falling off on one corner. I plan on taking a look in there when I get a chance in the next couple days but I figured I'd make a post here in the mean time.

Are these held in with the Christmas tree clips just like the front door panels, or should I be looking for something else? Basically just wondering if anyone has had one of these panels off before and might have some advice for me on how to reattach it securely.

@Cokeman95 might have some insight.

The rear panels are held in by a different style clip than the front ones. Let me see if I have a pic of the clip.

That would be awesome, thanks!

Any chance you know a part number or where I could pick some up?

I can't find a picture. I think I've got extra at home. I'll look when I get home tomorrow.

I just grabbed a couple at the junkyard when I needed some for mine.

They’re held on with push pins similar to the front doors if I remember right. I pulled mine off a few years ago and and backed them with 1/2in ply to be able to mount some things to them, but I’ve drank a lot of beer since then

Thank you! The Suburban is parked temporarily due to serpentine belt noise so I haven't bothered to look at that panel yet, but I imagine I'm probably missing at least one of these. I may go take a look later this afternoon.

Sorry it took me a bit. Had to get back to the correct tab. Lol

Looks like I found my issue. There appears to be an empty metal bracket and corresponding hole for one of those clips that's empty. You can see another one with the clip still in it right below. The top toothless pin threw me off for a second, but I'm assuming that's just there for aligning the panel corners properly with the other door plastics.

@Cokeman95 It looks like you just insert the clip into the opening on that bracket, rotate it 90 degrees and then push it into place. Is that pretty much the deal from what you remember? I think I can sneak one in there without removing the panel completely.
