Should be in the AIM, but I dont have copy for 63. I would put them near the ends and space them out on the rest.

I was able to go by the indentions the originals made. However, I think I also went by the AIMs for reference. I thought it even showed where the wide ones and the narrow ones go. I will look again tomorrow.

Aren't the holes for the clips still visible?
Did they get filled in with paint?

I found the page in my 66 AIM but your correct they don't give measurements on distance apart...

If you can find some of the holes you can measure them to get an idea..but the corners will be difficult because on my 66 corners there were 2 clips close to each other where they ovelap...so it might be hard to figure out exactly where they go...

I mislead you in that I really relied more on the rear window placement towards the back of the aim. C67 has the front but it is not real helpful.

One thing to do is place the trim where it is supposed to go and be sure to get a clip near each end of the trim and evenly spaced along the length of the trim.
