    Default clips of window switches available as single item?

    I mean these little clips which hold the switch in the door panel. See where item # 4 points too.
    Replaced the bulb with an LED, but one clip disappeared inside the door when replacing the switch. Stll have another spare switch with clips, but do not want to waste this one.
    Or did someone make one by himself? Don't want to remove the panel for this.

    Default here a better pic what I mean

    Probably have to disassemble an old PC or similar thing to find something which might fit as clip or can be made-to-fit.
    My dearest always complains that I keep all the old screws, nut, rings etc., but sometimes, one day you might need just that old piece.
    Before I scrap a damaged part I usually disassemble it just to see what happened and then I keep what I thing I might need in the future.

    How about a telescoping magnet to retrieve the clip. I keep one in my trunk tool compartment.

    Default have, have

    telescopic magnet, attachable LED flashlight, attachable mirror.
    If you have a V12 engine, that is the first thing you buy.
    Something like this

    And a stethoscope


    I have a spare window switch complete. But I look for the clip only, and I do not want to dive behind the door panel.
