71 72 Dodge Charger Super Bee Vinyl Top Trim Molding Clips

[NoCar2023]

All the re-pop vendors sell this kit and it is short a few pieces needed for a complete install.
The kit only comes with enough pieces to do the sides.
3 more studs and 2 more plastic clips are needed for the two rear moldings.

Probably don't want to hear it but buy 2 kits... Lots of these kits are made for one model and need more pieces to do others...

Yep, that's the plan. just wanted to make folks aware.
I am in contact with the vendor now, maybe I can get them to update the quantity or clarify the description.

Pic of the trim mocked up.
Now I need to get off the couch and finish the quarter panel body work.
Previous owner ground off all the nubs for the clips, gotta figure that out.

I have a bunch of NOS crash panel trim clips. They use screws with sealant on them for just this purpose so you do not need to put studs on, you screw clips right into the metal. Maybe an option if you don't have a stud gun...

That would be a good option but I have these ordered, just need to install them correctly. the body has a weird (coke bottle) shape in that area.

Same idea with-out the thread sealant. Should work fine..

Update, Dante's is the vendor and they are sending me the remaining parts for free.
You don't find customer service like that very often.
Thanks gtx67.

Went through that installation as well, used some of my originals that were still in good shape. My only hassle was sliding the side chrome trim over that plastic clips, was very tight and really was trying not the scratch my paint.

I almost removed the nibs to use one of the metal pieces just for ease, but with some trickery I was able to successfully install them.

Let us know how it goes.
