Windshield trim clips
Where can I get the clips + screws that attach the windshield stainless steel moulding to the birdcage? Are these them -

Ecklers part number A9447 will get you the clip. If I remember they cost around $2.50 each, but they do not have the screws. I found screws at a small auto supply store. After removing the old rusted screws the holes in the windshield were a little sloppy. I closed them up some with a stick welder and used JB Weld in the hole for hold assurance.

Ahhh. Now I see. What about the side trim. How is this supposed to be attached?

PS Sorry Michael; didn't mean to pirate the thread.
