Re: Does anyone have these clips?
I was able to get new door trim clips at my local NAPA store. (Much like the ones in your pics). They showed me quite a variety in their catalogue.

Re: Part Identification
My guess is exterior door trim. Closed beveled end facing forward, (so trim does not hit body when opening door), open end fits over tab of door handle. Not sure what year.

Re: What kind of parts are these??
The photo with the single piece looks like a part used to hold the headliner in place. The semicircular notch on the top of the piece is to skirt the bow that goes across the roof.

Mystery noise video?
