Default Please Help!

Hello All,

I am newbie on this forum, I am in the process of restoring my 1973 Stingray Convertible, I am having the hardest time figuring out what part I need to order from Ecklers, does anyone know what this is called or even a part # I can use? I have an arrow ponting at the lip it looks like something goes over that. Thanks so much for any feedback.

Quarter panel trim retainers. There is a set for coupes and a set for convertibles. If you do not have the assembly instruction manual (AIM) for your 73, order one when you order your retainers. The AIM shows how your 73 was assembled at St. Louis.
