Default 88 Accord Door trim fell off! CAN'T FIND CLIPS!

I just bought an 88 Accord for a steal, everything was in perfect condition other than the headliner(which was pretty much torn to shreds), UNTIL I was exiting the car from the drivers seat and accidentally kicked the rear passenger door's trim/molding and it fell off.

After inspecting the damage, I saw that there were four things holding it up to the door panel, three of which were clips and one was a screw. Those three clips broke their prongs that hold onto the door and the screw looked rusted out, so now I'm stuck with a trim/molding in the back seat.

I've looked on Majestic, Honda part world, etc. Nothing.
If anyone can help me find those clips or tell me other sites to look, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

The 88 actually used two (2) different size clips, they come as sets, the clip for the door panel and the retainer for the door 91562-SE3-003x6 and 90663-671-003x10

Thank you for the fast reply. I always have a hard time distinguishing exploded view illustrations because it's so hard to tell from the angle, which part it is I'm looking for.

Just to be clear, Here's a picture of an 87 rear door panel:

The black molding on the exterior is what I kicked and popped off, and the clips you linked me to didn't look like what was on the back of the molding.
I'll take pictures of the molding probably by tonight.

OIC, rear door side protector... http://torontohondaparts.com/Part.as...=91534-SE0-003

#42... http://torontohondaparts.com/PartsLi...air&illid=3238

Also FYI, if you still have the #21, [rear wheel arch protector] on your car, remove them and toss into garbage, they are the cause of rusting at the rear quarters.

If yours have not already rusted through, after removing the "protector" clean the inside of the "lip" and apply a rust inhibitor, like Rust Bullet... http://www.rustbullet.com/?source=ad...Fal7Qgodb3kAOw even a can of rubberized undercoat will help. 94
