My driver's side trim on the windshield has come off. On inspection, there are 3 clips which onto "studs" in the main body. These appear to have broken. Can anyone offer replacements, or give me an alternative? 90" triple black 3.0
Thanks. Mike

Most body/collision repair shops have clip assortments in stock. I don't know what the clips look like, byt most of those types snap on the stud first then the trim piece snaps on the clip. sometimes the trim piece starts at one end then slides over the clip and continues to position sliding over all the clips in order as they go. As a last resort I have cleaned the connecting area with alcohol put a dab of black silicone every 4" to 6" pushed the chrome trim piece into it, taped it till dry then cleaned up the excess with a single edge razor blade.. Good Luck,, Lou
