i ordered a set for my car , i know they identical for the front ans rear glass , but i noticed my car had different clips on the bottom of the back glass
those clips are wider and have a slot to move them left or right on the rivet ( rivets are on the car )
i think they are latter style clips , but they seem to clip to the molding the same way as the norrower clips that are all arround
i was wondering why my car had different clips on the back glass ( i figure they just put on what ever they had in St Therese that day )
my other question is concerning the windshield , i noticed the clips on the side pilar are differnet , they are held by a metal screw and they dont seem to clip the same way as the other clips i ordered , and i havent seen those on sale where i looked must i continue browsing the net for those ????
there are no rivets on the pillar to use the other clips
there is 3 of those on each side and i have somme missing , so i have to find out about these in the near future
my last question is , are there molding clips on the bottom of the winshield , would any one have a pic of a car with out the moldings or even better without a windshield
can a molding clip scientific make my day ??????????????
thank you all

that is what i did , i ordered a set on e bay ( 25 clips ) and they are the same as the clips on my car , most of them , actually my car has 3 different types !!!!!!!! two are compatible , but the clips on the side pilars are screw in type and those are the reason of my question.
i will try to screw in the clips i purchased but they look different from the clips on the side pillar , but i will try to snap on the moldings and see how they fit. Also i cant figure how the base of windshield clips go on because the base has been repaired , there is no pins at the base to position any clips , but maybee there was pins before that fix that was a while ago ?????????
i am trying to go as orig possible in this resto.

can some one help me on this one ?????????
i dont understand why the clips on the side pilar of the windshield are different and i dont see identical clips from the suppliers ??? these clips are held by screws instead of a rivet type of fastener like on the top and the clips looks different from the other clips ,
my other question is about the bottom molding of the windshield , where and how are positionned those clips ???
my car has been repaired at this area so i cant see how it was originally made
help please

Got any pics of your clips? i know that 64-67 a-body cars used different clips and mix/matched them all the time depending on the build date. I am amost 100 percent certain that you can use all of them in all locations, they have the same backspace, and you can snap them onto the rivets or screw them down with screws, either way, they will work the same.
