68 Riv side molding clips

[drbob78]

Anyone have a lead on nylon molding clips for a 68 Riv? I've had no success in locating any. My car is being repainted and I'd like to reinstall the trim with new clips. None at cars or OPG. None at local suppliers in Albuquerque.

You didn't picture one so it's hard to tell what the clip looks like. You might try Mr.G's USA www.mrgusa.com and see what he has to offer.

Thank you for the direction. I checked the online site and came up empty. The clips are 1 1/4" verticle, 1" wide and the bathtub wich plugs into the body is 1/4" x 1/2" positioned horizontally. Think they are nylon. Thanks again.

I know this probably won't be of much help, but I ended up using a modified, non-original, after market, universal style plastic/nylon clip that I happened to find from one of the many vendors on a visit to Carlisle, PA.

I was unable to source any originals prior to finding these.

Thanks again for the suggestions. I think I have enough of the originals. I'll use a bead of butyl or silicone behind each to make sure they're sealed and will stay in place. 68 is back from paint shop. Looks great.
