Hi
Help! I'm installing rear window trim. But have a problem, I see the clips for the upper part of window trim, but can not figure out how to install lower trim. There are no clips to screw into. Any help, photo's would be of great help.

You should notice that the stainless side and bottom trim pieces have screw holes in them.These pieces simply screw to the body. With body and paint work, the old holes have likely been filled in. I would stick masking tape down on the mounting surface, and then lay out your moldings where they should go. Take a small drill bit ( smaller than your trim screws ), and mark straight down through the molding holes where the holes should be drilled. Remove the moldings and drill your new holes where marked. The rear window moldings on my 1964 Dodge 4-door hardtop attach the same way as your '63.
