69 Vinyl Top Windshield Trim Molding Reveal Retainer Clips
HawkX66:
After looking around for info on replacement clips for the front windshield molding, I saw one post where someone mentioned they thought there was a difference between a painted roof coupe and a vinyl top roof coupe. I knew mine were different and didn't appear to have ever been removed. Original vinyl top and original date coded glass along with good condition trim... Anyone know the reason for the difference? It seems like the regular clips could cover the added thickness of the vinyl.
I'm posting this so someone can find the information a lot easier. If someone sees something off in my information here, let me know. There is a misprint or omission in the AMK catalog page 160, but it's listed correctly on page 338 under p/n: G-6552. The clips listed for Camaro Fr & Rr 70-75 are also for vinyl top 69s (possibly other years as well). I confirmed w/ AMK that their p/n G-6552 and B-10707 are the same.

You can get those clips through W&E Sales, which most jobbers carry. There is an OEM part number cross reference chart in the back of their catalog. They can be bought cheap by the box, and I stock numerous types. No need to worry about AMK's minimum order. The ramp style is nice because the elevation can be adjusted if necessary. There are other ramp styles without the teeth that will work. Auveco is another source for hardware.

Thanks guys. Hopefully it'll help somebody out. I saw the ones from Auveco & W&E Scott. I have the W&E catalog downloaded. The only thing that holds me back from buying theirs is that they look like they're natural finish. AMK seems to have them phosphate coated. I might shoot over to NPD and grab them. I have one close by and they're an AMK dealer.
