Default Windshield corner moulding screws?

Does anyone know where I can get a new set of windshield corner moulding screws? I have looked at all the vendors and no one seems to have them. For an 82.

Hi a,
Paragon Corvette Reproductions #12228K is for 68-76 might it work for your 82?
Regards,
Alan

Are these the windshield corner moldings that cannot be replaced unless you remove the windshield? Anyone has a technique to replace the moldings without removing the windshield?

68/70,
Some people cut the heads off the 2 offending screws which allows you to get the moldings off.
They don't replace the screws when installing the new moldings. (There are 3 others.)
If you knick the edge of the glass even a tiny bit you'll probably lose your windshield the next time you hit a big bump in the road.
Regards,
Alan

Anyone have any extra screws? Nobody has them. I got the GM part # from the AIM and called the local dealer and I knew they wouldn't have any but thought it could lead me somewhere. Well they told me a dealer in AZ had 4 of them but when I called they were sold some time ago and never updated the data.

There are two small flat head machine screws about 8-32 or 10-32 and maybe 1 1/8" long that are under the windshield glass and have a small square of flat steel under them. Lou.

I'm looking for the ones on the inside that are larger. Uses two of them per side.
