What clip is this?

[TattedDadOf3]

I’ve looked everywhere to find out what model number is the metal clip that hooks the plastic back to the driver and passenger seats. I broke one while installing some OEM monitors. I have attached a picture to help. Thank you.

That looks like a birth control device. Crazy clip.

You could make a replacement by buying some spring steel, bend to suit, then heat treat. You could do the heat with a propane torch. It's not hard. brownells.com sells spring stock, also mcmaster.com and other places.

Sniveling and begging might find you a junk yard willing to take a clip off one of their wrecks.

IMO neither will work. It's a spring, not a bracket. Welding will draw the temper and reduce the steel to dead soft. No more spring. JB weld is not going to adhere adequately. If one is determined to repair the spring, I would add a piece of steel that bridges the break, wrap it with fine steel wire to hold it in place, then soft solder it (low temperature) using a flux that will work with steel. Carefully clean the flux residue as that stuff is corrosive. Then cross fingers, install, and hope.
