Couldn't tell you, but I was inspecting the two '68 GTS convertibles that we are working on yesterday. It looks like it has the holes in the cowl for the trim clip screws (no real surprise), but my buddy thinks they are too close to the outside. Do you have any pics of where the clips go on your car? Convertibles use a lock strip on the bottom and large chrome pieces on the sides and top. There should be NO trim clip holes anywhere!
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I just got my 1968 Dodge Dart back from the paint shop. I need to reinstall the front windshield trim clips. Where do the clips located inside of the red square go?
Thanks! Those don't look quite right, but if I had to guess I would say near the corners?

Both my GTS and Ed's GTS have holes in the cowl where I assume trim clips would have been screwed in.

I never even thought about looking for trim clip holes in convertibles, just assumed they wouldn't have them.
