I know there was a thread recently in this section...
They are the quarter size clips that attatch to the top of your roof where the top of the drivers and pass windows meets the roof...
It keep the windows from pulling open at higher speeds...
If you find someone who is selling please let me know as well , Iam missing one..
It seems as if the Idiots at GM have discontinued this part...
I have tried calling /asking around but with no luck...

Check with Gene Culley at the GM Parts House. He may be able to get these parts for you. Here's the website: http://www.gmpartshouse.com/
