Default rear soundbar lamp clip?

hey all,
i'm redoing the rear sound bar in my 97 XJ. unfortunately the clip that holds the middle of the sound bar up, where the lamp is, is broken. anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement? checked the JY today, no luck.
any help would be much appreciated...
thanks
jon

The small round push clips can be found on the "Help!" aisle at any competent parts store.



If all else fails run some 3" wood screws through the roof.

I've got a 96, and on that model the ends of those posts were threaded into a sheet metal flange attached to one of the roof ribs.
I just unscrewed the posts and replaced them with sheet metal screws.
