Default Fasteners upper windshield frame inner side

Hi,

since I have no idea which fasteners, clips, nuts or whatever I will need for the inner side of the upper windshield frame I would like to ask you I did not found anything in the well-known catalogues (only the molding reveal clips for the outer side).
I put green circles around the holes in question: Picture

Thanks!

There are 3 different types of holes that you have outlined.

There should be 1 round holes with nuts welded to the frame, they take regular bolts.

There are 4 oval slots those take the spring steel U nuts.

There are 2 small round holes for sheet metal (pointed self tapping)screws.

Here is the page from Doc Rebuild and the part you are looking for is

M 68-82 Outer Molding 12 Piece Mounting Kit Does 1 car
with 6 mounting clips & 6 screws. 1009302 $11.75

Hope this helps.

I beg to differ. Having just disassembled my header I believe there are only holes for self tapping screws and the oval holes for the 'u-clips' with no holes for welded 'nuts'. The outer holes have no clips as the big chrome metal end piece is threaded.

Don't forget Dr. Rebuild.
I learned while restoring my 68 that the Doctor has all the nitty gritty stuff you need to restore your car that many of the guys who sell the fancy t-shirts and watches don't have. The best part is that his stuff is in stock, not just on a pretty page in a catalog. I never encountered a back order and I loved that since I have zero patience and want everything right now so I can keep working on my car.
