window clips for holding in glass

A few years back, when I built kitchen cabinets with glassed doors, I
was able to obtain plastic screw on clips which could be used to hold
the windows into their frames. This gave the owner an option of easily
replacing the windows with panels if desired. I can no longer find
these items at all of the usual wood working suppliers. (They are not
to be confused with the clear plastic mirror hold downs-these won't
work).

I presently make comparable items out of maple and felt but the soft
plastic flexed with humidity and the windows always stayed tight.

So-does anyone know of a supplier for these items?

Cheers,
Fritz

You guys were a great help--THANKS!

BTW to Jack-I went to college in Buffalo in the 70's-I am on Cape Cod
now (white bread and mayonaise capital of the US) but I still miss all
the Polish food and polka dances in Buffalo-I still pull out my old
Accordian at times

Cheers,
Fritz
