i am having trouble finding headliner clips that hold up the trim and headliners above the doors. ihave front and rears and the old ones shattered when disassembling. any ideas?
 
You might have to go to a boneyard for those. Unfortunately, I have never seen them for sale anywhere.

If you do find a g-body to grab some from, it is possible to get that metal trim out of the car without breaking those clips:

To remove the metal trim above the doors, you have to stand outside of the car. The metal trim is held on by three clips per side. The clips have an inside tab and an outside tab. To remove the metal trim from these clips, grasp the trim with palms up and pull it toward your body at a downward angle. The metal piece will pop off the outside tabs and it will hang down a bit. Then, push the piece toward the inside of the car to pop the metal trim off the inside tabs. Don't break the clips because they are not easy to find anywhere. Remove the three clips on each side with a philips screwdriver.
