Hey fella's, Looking for some assistance with locating a set of vinyl top trim molding clips for my 70 Chevelle. I purchased a new top and molding set, but have no molding clips to secure the molding to the car. Any idea's??

I purchased a set from OPG. They come in packs of 10 and are described by width. I also ordered some from Hillco Fasteners but I don't think that they are an exact match. I will know more when the arrive.

Hillco also sells the push in clips, think they call them tubular nuts, for the corner chrome if you need them. The 3/16 is AV03776

Do you still have all of the weld studs on the sheet metal? If not you can attach the clips with pop rivets or purchase replacment trim screws. Hillco sells them as CP90-6833 @ 10 for $1.25

You might want to get a catalog from them. I have found it a great resource for odd ball hardware.

I was able to get my clips from a place called Chicago Muscle Cars. He has adds that pop up all over Hemmings and lucky for me his shop is only 20 min from my house. Actually he has just about anything you would ever need...used and that repro junk! No web site but the # is 847-526-2200. Ask for Ralph and tell him you spoke to Brandon...hey maybe he'll curt me a deal next time for a referal!
