Hi fellow Pontiac enthusiasts,

My '64 Custom Sport ragtop has finally gone to the shop for a body and paint job.  I'll post some pics of the progress if anyone is interested.  Has anyone out there had any luck finding the rectangular metal clips which fasten the rocker panel and rear quarter panel mouldings to the body?  If so, I'd certainly appreciate finding out where to buy them.  Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Do you see anything here? Take a look: http://www.thecliplink.com/retainers/moulding-clips/moulding-clip-general-motors-gm-100-per-box.html

You can also inquire here: http://autobodyclips.com/index.html

 

I always admire it when someone tries to source the clips and retain the stock trim as opposed to taking the easy road and deleting them altogether. It happens a lot on Beaumonts and 67 Malibus.

 

Good luck! Report back and let us know if you find what you are looking for.

GOT CLIPS FOR MY 63 ROCKER MOULDINGS FROM A PLACE CALLED STEELCRAFT, HE HAS A LOT OF STOCK
I CAN POST A PHONE NUMBER LATER WHEN I GET HOME

US Bonny would use the same clip. I've never tried to source them,, would sure be interested to see if there is something out there!  My spare trim has not been molested yet ,, NOT screwed on like the current stuff on the car.

Here's What you'll be looking for. They are different animals ... they clip into rectangular holes.

*These ones aren't for sale ... just my spares.

 That 64 I just stripped for you has those clips behind the rear wheels but the ones along the rocker under the door have a small bolt holding them on.  I stopped in yesterday to see what they still have and those clips are there.  If you are desperate I can try remove them.  I know at Hershey there were all kinds of guys supplieing clips and fastners of all sorts.

These rectangular clips are also used on the 64 Beaumont Sport Deluxe.
Saw a hanful of them this weekend while at Spring Carlisle but didn't buy them as I have a full supply that I purchase some time ago. They were marked as for 66 pontiac. I've never been able to locate the pins that slide into the trim and then push into this clip. Made new pins out of flat head rivets by careful filing.

The company that I saw them at was Restoration Specialties in Windber, PA www.restorationspecialties.com

Did a quick check of there catalog but couldn't locate a part number. However, JMont's pic is very good and they should be able to identify it from that. Theirs are painted a reddish color.

good luck with it.

 Ditto!

That clip looks exactly like the clip that holds the dash pad at each end on a 66 full size Pontiac.

Hi jmont64
I have sent you a private message regarding the '64 CS rocker moulding clips. I have followed up on all the great responses to my request but, to date, nobody has been able to come up with any. I am going to pursue the 64, 65, 66 Bonnevilles which had the wide rocker mouldings. I agree with others who suggested that the Bonnevilles likely used the same clips. I am also going to pursue Carl's suggestion regarding the '66 Pontiac dash pads. Thanks!

I need 28 for both sides including rocker and door mouldings. I currently have 12.

Pritch, I've been following up on some of the leads mentioned in this thread also (because I know a few of my clips under the trim are toast), and I'm not having much luck yet. I'll work on it further, because I need to find out.

Thank you jmont64 for your incredible effort in picking up these clips. I will take this picture of the clips to my bodyshop and see whether or not they will be able to modify them for my '64 CS mouldings.
As you have already pointed out, there is a difference between the Parisienne and Custom Sport mouldings and clips. As Pontiacanda said earlier in this thread, they are "different animals."
