1968 Dodge Dart front windshield trim clip question - 08/28/18 05:02 PM

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!

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! work

Those don't look quite right, but if I had to guess I would say near the corners? shruggy

Has anyone replaced these or does anyone have any images?

BUT the cowl is the same hardtop or convertible. 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. shruggy

I don't think my '67 Barracuda convertible has those holes, but I will take a look at it as well.

I recall seeing these holes on my 68 and pausing for a second to think, what did I miss? Then realizing what they were for.
