69 charger, what clips do i use on the windshield finishers?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sat Jul 17, 04 10:17 pm

got a set of molding clips, but i think i lost some of them, tried these ones on the car but they are too tall by look of it, any idea how tall the clips should be, and are they the same on the roof part to the pillars? i already got the right ones along the bottom, (different again i think)

car's outside with the windshield out and im stuck on this right now, so if u know, please post a reply asap!

PS anyone got the right clips?

It looks like you have rear window clips, the front upper and sides are the same, as you say shorter, they lie just under the roof panel, the lower trim clips are diferent.

I ust had a look at what I have and there are a least 4 different styles ! you need to find a sample of an original then I can tell you if I have any of the type you need in stock..

Hi alex, my car had no clips whatsoever when i got it, someone had attached the finishers to the front windshield with big lumps of FILLER. so im in the dark . i have another darn bag of clips, but ive lost em. grrr

here is the complete set of clips when they arrived.

OK I will look in a bit, I have to nip out for a mo, I guess you have tried the '20' type right??

yup the 20 (ie there are 20 of them) are on the car now and too tall.

they are the only ones i can find, apart from the 10 windshiled lower ones which luckily are already on the car.

Thanks for having a look! i am carrying on looking for mine. Have a feeling the bodyshop people chucked em out or something

OK I am back ! I have some that look the same as your 14's...

How many do you need? I can send them down to you to try, if they are wrong send 'em back if they are right we can sort something out later.

p.m. your address to me and I will post 'em out tonight.

Hi Will - I've just done the same job on my Coronet & have some left over . There are two styles of clips for the upper moulding across the top of the screen - the shallower ones go one at each end , as I recall. I should be able to take some pics for you & count the clips Monday night .

Cheers,

Matt

that would be fab matt, thanks, hadnt occurred to me that they would use differnet sizes on the same finisher

can't put the windshield in until the clips are in!

Alex is kindly sending me some clips!

Hi Will, the ones you show with 14 on them are the ones you need. I bought a new set so I have some old ones kicking around. If you still need some let me know and I'll post them to you. Don't want anything for them, I was going to chuck 'em anyway, just kept them incase I lost a new one.................. Matt.

These windscreen trim clips are a mystery to me too...I took 'em all off thinking they were all the same.
If you do get it right Will

I think we would all appreciate some pix for reference, so we could have a definitive guide to which ones go where.
Go on Will, you're good with the camera and if you want some incentive... failure to comply and the sheep gets it

Ivor · Post by **Ivor** » Tue Jul 20, 04 1:35 pm

Right, these are the four types of clip apparently, now who knows which ones go where?
Or are some of them the same...damned if I know, just got a drawer full of clips and no glass in me car!
