Anyone replace the Uclip/nuts for the body panels and have a link? Mine are all rusted out and want to replace with SS. Thanks!

Not sure what year cart you are referring too. But these from Amazon worked well for lower front and rear covers.

I have a 2013. I ended up going with the SS ones [1/4"-20 Long Stainless Steel U -Style Clip-On Nut,U-Type Fasteners (Pack of 25)](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CBY67KJD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)  
They are a little short and required some opening, but worked for me. They also have the body(tub) mount ones in SS [3/8"-16 Stainless Steel U -Style Clip-On Nut,U-Type Fasteners (Pack of 10)](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BY5CDG7G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Thanks for the response! Hopefully this helps someone who is doing a complete restore in the future.
