Interesting. I wonder if the clips were done different by plant? I learned something new today. I also forgot about that big clip at the back. There is a guy on eBay that produces clips for the rocker molding but they are different than the factory ones and require drilling new holes. I think his name is 65Satelliteman on there. He is the one who reproduces the grill emblems also. It would seem you should have less problem finding those metal clips than the plastic ones.
