68 wiper grille fasteners
I am in the process of putting back together the wiper grille, and need to find the fasteners that hold the end pieces to the top of the fenders. Does anyone know any vender who is selling them?
Thanks

Do you have the assembly instruction manual (AIM)? The AIM shows how the fender trim pieces install.

These are very touchy to install after the fact...and if you do not get them RIGHT...they will push off when you go to install the molding. PRECISE drilling and hole placement is required.

The four (2 per side) of the special clips are available through about all of the major Corvette parts vendors...as what was posted by Easy Mike. As for the screws that secure the trim to the inside edge of the top hood surround...I will get back to you tomorrow on those. I have them but I do not know the Au-Ve-Co number right off the top of my head.

The "top hood surround" is the panel that does just what it says. Surrounds the hood on the top. So it is the full panel that goes all the way around your hood and also has the holes for your headlights in it also....and is the panel that allows the two upper trims to be installed like you posted.

For what it is worth...the screws I use to secure the top trim to the top hood surround on the inside edge are Au-Ve_Co part number 9229. A very shallow/low height Phillips head so it will not conflict with the wiper door trim when closed....as long as the components are adjusted correctly.
