  • need rear glas molding clip dimension

    Gentlemen,
    I will be installing the rear glass chrome trim pieces (eliminated vinyl top) and need to know the clip locations and how many are used.
    I could just backtrack by placing the trim over the glass and estimate but if someone could give me a number, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Happy Thanksgiving!
    Much to thank God for.

    I'm not sure about 78-80 but 81-88 has 3 on the sides and 6 on the top with the two centers spaced closer together spaced about 4 inches in the center between the two and the others being spaced about 6 inches apart.
    The lower valance panel has 4 clips on it.

      Thanks, very much appreciated.
      Any Idea how deep into the pinch weld the clips go? I think I will get this dimension from the front windshield clips-assuming that the molding style is identical to the rear.

        Not sure on that, the clips are mounted to studs but you can always just sheetmetal screw them in.
