A friend of mine is looking for the shinny clips that go right by the windshield gasket at the top. The trim man broke all of his getting them out. The ones he got from RT specialties all were so brittle that he could not install them without breaking them. Anyone else have a source for better clips? Used ones would do.

I went through the same thing last month. How can these vendors keep selling these clips. They are useless. I had to rework my old ones. I hope you are able to locate them.
See attached photo of the ones that broke from RTS.

Yep. It sucks. My friend is very frustrated. His trim guy broke all his original ones.

^^^ Yup; great place, and their prices beat the heck out of everyone else.

True story: on my 1st Early B, I thought I knew the size of the window channel felts in the upper sedan/wagon window frame.
I called to place the order, and the guy says, "no, you need such-&-such", which is what they then sent.
Exactly spot on.
