did the lower windshield stainless steel trim piece on a 68 dart convertible have a special clip that screwed to the lower windshield frame and if someone has a pic of that clip.

My 69 Dart Gt convertible had a chrome like plastic lower piece that fit in to the lock strip of the black rubber gasket. It was very brittle and broke when I removed it. I ended up using a plastic lock strip from the rear window of a 80's ram charger.

The 1967 to 1969 Dart and Barracuda convertibles use the plastic trim at the bottom of the windshield that is the stuff used on all the 1967 body styles.

This is correct! And I have read here that Ramcharger lock strip will substitute, but I have not tried it myself. I have used high dollar NOS lock strip, and it shrunk and the mylar lifted after 3 or 4 years, just like the original. This was about 15 years ago, don't know if they have found anyway to improve the quality since or not.
