FOUND 64 Polara body side molding clips needed.

[toolmanmike]

I am looking for the these body side molding clips (trim clips) for my 64 Polara. I have found a supplier but they are out of the clips and it may be months before they are back in stock. I would take a half dozen if available or even 1 new or like new clip to use as a pattern to 3 D copy. (I may go that route) Let me know what you have or somewhere else I can try to find them in stock. Thanks

The first photo is of an aftermarket clip and the pin is not split and has no barbs on it. Other than silicone, I don't know how it stays attached. You can see that detail in the white clip which is a broken original.

That pin is slightly tapered, and tightens to the hole as it is driven in. I will check, and see what I have.

Was RT specialties the supplier that was out of stock?

No but I could give them a try. Their website leaves a lot to be desired. A phone call would be the best bet.

Thanks Dave. I sure appreciate the generosity. I may leave this thread open for a bit and more info may come out in case others (and me) need options. If someone already makes them and they are easily available I probably won't pursue the 3D printing avenue. No reason to reinvent the wheel.

Dave is graciously sending me some clips. Thanks and I owe you. Thread closed.
