Title: 68 rocker molding trim clips
Post by: tinman75 on April 08, 2009, 12:04:30 AM: Anyone ever find a good original style lower rocker molding clip for a 68? It look like the repops are junk. Or does someone have a few originals laying around. Dont need a complete set.

The repros for the RS moldings are very hard to work with, but they do work. I have used others that require a nut to hold them on from the backside for the ones on the doors and quarter panels. If I can find the Auveco part number I will post it later tomorrow along with a picture of the clip..............RatPack.............

Post by: rat pack on April 08, 2009, 07:13:32 PM: Okay, I just found out today that the clips I have been using are no longer available, but the Auveco clip shown in the picture will work. The clips I had a stash of were made by a company called JOBCO, and they have not made these clips in about 8 years. However, I did find a company that can reproduce them, but I do not know what the cost will be. I had some of the Auveco clips in the bins, and I installed it on a spare molding to see how it fit. No big difference than the JOBCO other than it not having a foam seal which can be easily made. Check with any Auveco dealer for part #2619 for individual clips, or for a box of 25 #12958. These will work just fine. Be sure to use a "washer lock nut" to install them, and the Auveco number for those are 2558. I will post pictures of the other clips on the next reply...........I hope this helps...................RatPack.........................
