A few of the clips are broken and I am in desperate need of some replacements. I have searched every website that I can think of and cannot locate any. Classic Industries is now apparently repopping the moldings but not the hardware ? If anyone has any for sale or can point me in the right direction I would be forever grateful- Thanks in advance, Ron 1970 Plymouth Duster 1971 Dodge Challenger 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 Speed (Son's) 1985 Chevrolet Corvette (Wife's)

The plastic clips were used from the rear forward, the metal clip was only used in the final forward location on the fender dog leg. I don't know of any reproduction source for either clip. I have not seen a 1970 wide style in person, it may have been the same?

Scott That plastic clip don't seem to be wide enough to hold the 2" wide moldings - based on a measurement I took on an original and repro molding????

NO- I picked them up at a swap meet. They are a little wide, so I suspect they have to be trimmed a bit to fit in the groove. 1970 Superbird 440-6bbl, auto 1969 Barracuda 340-4bbl, FB Formula S auto 1969 Barracuda 6.1 L Hemi, 5 speed, Convertible 2022 Can Am Spyder RTL

I finally resorted to using polyurethane adhesive to hold the trim in place. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/srt8cuda-build.218445/page-21 1970 Superbird 440-6bbl, auto 1969 Barracuda 340-4bbl, FB Formula S auto 1969 Barracuda 6.1 L Hemi, 5 speed, Convertible 2022 Can Am Spyder RTL
