Looking for some trunk moulding fasteners for 64 polara 500. Need 6

You mean the 2 strips on top? They had studs, that usually break off.

 

[barracuda67man]

Yes.i need those..took mine off and were missing completely so over the years someone just used the ones on the ends to hold them on

So you're looking for some rotted off pot metal studs?
It's like an emblem. When the studs are gone they're gone. I've seen people use a very discreet screw in the groove of the trim. A thin strip of black vinyl and you should be good.

@Dave6T4 knows his way around those 64's.

Remcharger...that's incorrect..they are square slotted fasteners with a stud attached to each one that slides into the back of the molding from The widest edge and down into the grooved molding. If you want to see what I'm talking about there's an nos molding on ebay right now showing this and dave6t4 also confirmed this..r/t specialties is looking for me..thank you anyway.

Here is what they look like. About 7/16" square.

Looks like one of those odd parts.

If you're handy at all, and can't find replacements, you could make your own. Source some threaded rod of the correct size, then cut to length. Get a piece of sheet metal and braze a few of these rod sections to the sheet metal then trim the base to size.

Thoughts on something like these?

 

[barracuda67man]

Those might work..I'll have to measure the width of the backsides and look that style up...ty

Cutting down an existing style clip like that would be the thing to do. I have those clips needed BUT they are on sets of decklid trim.

You can find a variety of these at parts stores like Orielys.
