I have had my center console out of the car 10 or so times in the past few months - and as a result the clips that hold in the rear accessory panel (that houses my AUX port and two 12v outlets) has lost the clips. I looked on realoem - but didn't see a reference to the clips when I pulled up the diagram of the console and panel. Maybe I missed something, could someone please point me in the right direction?

Good luck! I discovered that these clips are NOT available unless you purchase the rear panel. I damaged one of mine and thought yeah, I'll just go get one at the dealer. Right... Luckily I didn't throw away the old one and was able to bend it back to a functional clip.

Thanks Tony - I had a feeling this was the case. Guess I will buy the cheapest back panel they make and try to be more careful in the future.
I do find it odd that I have basically had my entire interior out of my car at one point or another and that friggen panel puts up the biggest fight of them all.
