Where Do These Windshield Lower Seal Retainers Go?

[themechanic]

I saw these on Megaparts and have no clue where they go, what they are for and whether I need them.

Those are used to hold the ends of the lower windshield stainless trim piece. They screw in under the A pillar where it meets the door jamb and the trim wraps back. Could be for vinyl top only, my 69 GTX has them and it was originally a vinyl top car.

Coupe too, not just vinyl tops.

I do not see it. My trim looks like that wrapping around on the ends.

They are there, maybe partially covered by w/strip.

[oldbee]

Yup

I didn't know mine were missing until I saw those for sale and started this thread. Are they really necessary?

 

[dadsbee]

Better..

They hold the far edge of window trim down. Definitely needed. Moparnation74 will chime in I’m sure.

I find myself reviewing Justin's thread a lot. I just wish it was easy to find what I'm looking for.

I bought a set from Mega Parts just now.

Thanks everybody.

Where did the old ones go? Justin is probably sampling the “high life” in Columbus,Oh. as we text. Lots of stuff to do there.

 

[themechanic]

Gone with the wind I suppose. They were missing when I bought the car.

Thats it.....They are used to tie the outer ends of the lower trim around the a pillar....the roof rail weatherstrip covers them....

Sure thing, Justin. Thanks for the link to the "ear pieces". I had no idea I was missing them even after I took the SS trim off the windshield.
