Hey everyone. About a month ago I bought a 2017 Ram sport in sublime green. Tonight I go to leave for work and there are the push pin style clips laying on the floor of my truck and I was wondering if anyone knows where they came out of?

Here's a couple pictures of the truck and one picture has my car also. It's a 2013 mustang GT Premium Sterling grey 6 sp with a decent amount of basic mods to it.

They all fell out at once? Looks like they came from under dash or anywhere really cause those push fasteners are used all over the truck though lol!

I found them this morning when I had time to look after work they hold the door panel on and after looking the holes are crooked. Now I'm debating on asking them to fix or replace the door panel.

I don't know that it would be possible for them to all come out and be laying on the floor if the door was closed at the time. With the door closed most of them would be up against other trim pieces without a direct path to the floor. Was your truck locked? I'd be more inclined to believe that someone removed them to get to steal something behind the panel.

Yeah the truck was locked. I always lock it touching the handle and with the remote just to be sure. Only thing I can think is maybe they fell out when the door was shut. Just got back and they installed all new clips.

You already stated in another thread that you had your windows tinted over the weekend. My tint shop has never removed these pins on any of my Rams but that is most likely how yours came out, removed by the tint place. At any rate, why would this warrant getting a new door panel?

Agreed, there's no way one of those just popped out by itself, let alone 6 of them.
