Man we got a major prob we just installed a new rear deck panel on my 67 chevelle done put the rear glass back in and all and to find that the little studs that hold the rear window trim in are not there (guess we was in too much a hurry) what do i do how in the world we gonna get them clips in without having to cut out the whole panel again

PLEASE HELP

get the measurements from the peace that you removed. for location from sides and depth. you can get screws that are made for this. they are flathead stainless steel phillip stype screwhead. your local older glass shops might have them. if not you can order them. i bought 100 for $8 plus $13 shipping hope this puts your mind to ease a bit

if i may ask where did you oder them from

i purchased mine from a fastener company called FASTENAL they listed them in there automotive fastener catalouge. if i were you i would call my local glass shops the older ones will have them. if not, speak with your local autobody shop about letting them stud weld the trim studs in place.

After you get the studs for the clips, you'll still have to remove the rear glass to put them in. If you can't find the studs, some people just pop rivit the clips on.

i'm doing the same project on my 69' haven't put it in yet ,have the old one out.i plan on pop rivet the clips with s/s rivets.you might try seeing if you can get a 90 degree drill and drill the holes,before taking the glass back out

8X1 1/2" Stainless Steel Phillips Flat Head SheetMetalScrew FASTENAL APPROVED VENDORS 100 EA $7.80

does this seem like the right screw they have 1/4
also

the ones i have are #4-24x3/8 in. the number on the box is 9877 they were ordered from AU-VE-CO by fastenal. you can get 200 as cheap as 100 because they have a min order of $13 i think. oh yea and they dont come with the silacone on them like some older ones did. good luck graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Don't want to hijack your thread, but is there a source for the panel itself besides a wrecking yard?

That panel is TOUGH to find it seems!
