: Where to Get Windshield Moulding Retaining Clip
Dan Orgill Nov 12th, 03, 6:53 AM This is for my 69 SS.
The stainless moulding that goes along the bottom of the windshield and partially on the cowl is secured by screws and a steel clip on either end.
I, of course, am missing one of these little clips :( . Anyone have a source or perhaps some extras?
Thanks guys.
Professor_SS Nov 12th, 03, 8:19 AM If they are the same clips used to hold the trim on the sides and top I have some, can you post a picture of it?

mike69ss Nov 12th, 03, 8:39 AM I’m looking for the same clip. I haven’t looked thru my catalogs yet but I wanted to joint this post. Also is the trim installation shown in the assembly manual? If not could anyone post a picture of the installed clip. Just a shot but is the clip the same as the ones used to hold the bottom of the windshield?
Dan, I picture would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Mike
Dan Orgill Nov 12th, 03, 9:56 AM I'd love to post a pic, ( no scanner ) trust me. The clip is about 1" wide by 1 1/2" long, with a small hole drilled on on end. The other end is crimped slightly. The end with the hole fastens to the cowl with a philips screw, and the crimped end holds the edge of the stainless molding. I don't think I can describe it any better. Once installed the clips aren't visible,as they are covered by the rear top edge of the front fender.
Professor_SS Nov 12th, 03, 3:56 PM nope sorry, I have trim clips for the side and top molding and the windshield support bracket can be obtained from NPD (C-10027A-1A) 4.95 but I don't have anything like what you need.
Sorry... could you make a pair?
Dan Orgill Nov 12th, 03, 4:01 PM Might be an option, I'll have to check around about that.
chevl71 Nov 12th, 03, 4:52 PM Try Hillcofasteners.com . They have every clip known to man. I've sent them pictures of clips I was looking for and they've identified it. Their catalog is a pictorial and the fasteners are way-cheaper.
Bill Rose Nov 12th, 03, 6:35 PM Dan...I think these are the clips (on right) you need for the lower windshield molding. The clips on the left hold the windshield up during installation.. http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/71SSBB/Untitled-10.gif
Dan Orgill Nov 13th, 03, 6:37 AM Yes! graemlins/hurray.gif The ones on the right are indeed the ones I want. ( Actually, one, since I have one ). Anybody out there have a source or extras?
Thanks VERY MUCH for posting that pic! graemlins/beers.gif
Dan Orgill Nov 13th, 03, 6:39 AM Chev71, I read your post just now, thanks for the website.
mike69ss Dec 4th, 03, 7:34 AM 71SSBB -- could you please repost your picture showing the clips. The picture would be very helpful to me in trying to locate the clips.
Thanks,
Mike
Professor_SS Dec 4th, 03, 9:00 AM Isn't that the same clip style for the malibu rocker molding?
1badss396 Jun 23rd, 08, 12:03 PM Can someone please repost your picture showing the clips.
pglade Jun 23rd, 08, 11:41 PM here's a pic...these are used out towards the bottom/lower edge of the large stainless at the base of the windshield. Typically held in with a phillips head screw. You'll notice the car in the pic didn't ever have these installed....the spot where these go is just to the L of the clip.
These are also hidden once the fenders are on a car.

Bryan59EC Aug 29th, 08, 10:51 PM My 66 ElCamino (malibu trim level /SS rocker mouldings)
Uses those same clips to retain the rocker moulding (the ribbed one)
