Default convertible windshield stainless trim

I'm in the need for the windshield trim for my '67 convertible to use for reference when I install my new Sermersheim front end. Can anyone recommend a source for trim that fits correctly? I read on the NCRS board that the best source for clips might be Paragon.
Thanks

When I bought clips I got mine from Paragon. They had two types, cheap crap generic and a better clip with a little gasket on the mounting surface - get that one it fit perfectly and none of them broke like the cheap ones do. I think Long Island may be making a new repop of the original but I can't swear to it.

I just reinstalled my trim recently and snapped a couple of new clips from LICS for what that's worth.

Looks like LICS has USA made clips. Received an email announcing this product.

Technite73 is right on. Just received an e-mail today from LICS. Here's the link in their e-mail on these clips:
