expensive top windshield molding clips
Does anyone know how many of those expensive $6 clips are required which hold the top molding in place on a 68 vert. I have 4 plus 2 that are a little different and mount on each end, so I have 6 in total. I believe there may be 10-12 total required.

My windshield is already back in....He was trying to tell me they were some special Vodoo clip or something. I guess he was trying to add the Corvette tax on me. I just ordered them from ebay, but it still chaps my butt when people try to screw me.

Ecklers part number A9447, $6.50 to be exact. These look identical to the original ones. The ones from Zip don't look like these. They don't seem to have the feature whereby the molding snaps in.

Of course if you really want to hold your car together you will not use them.....
READ for details.....long story....
basically ALL the window trim strips come off the car, then you take about 2-3 tubes of black RTV the original GE Silicon 1 stuff in caulking guns...and load hell out of the extra gaps, totally filling any left over window frame metal to glass to molding area....the sides bolt back in place then the top is just fastened in with tape or clamps to the RTV....so it sticks there....wipe/cut/shave the over spillage to suit your fancy.....
that there will totally kill any leakage from the windshield and stop rusting from that area getting down inside the kick panels....
