I've been trying to determine which style clips were used by the factory for Windshield Reveal Moldings ('68-'69 F-body convertible only. Have not been able to find much in the forums other than discussions about coupe and vinyl top applications. Would greatly appreciate reference pix of original clips. In my 3/69 Pontiac MPC (for Firebird), there are (2) different clips:

- Windshield Upper Molding (4474354) - square shape
- Windshield Side Molding (7693140) - rectangle shape

According to Heartbeat City, there was only ONE style used for upper and sides on a conv.
There repro part, GLS-1098.

Thanks very much!

Overview of the different Decklid bumpers for '67-'69.
Still researching this as there were design changes made during and after production (into service parts era until early 90s).

Appreciate your input and original example pix.


Thanks!

What was the original finish on the front brake line/hose brackets secured to Subframe?
Black or...?


Thanks.

I realize there have been multiple topics, posts regarding trunk spatter however, I would like to suggest another thought regarding sound deadener application prior to the spatter paint process.

In researching trunk spatter paint and sound deadener on original, unrestored cars, it seems that the process may have been something like this:

- Sound Deadener was first applied to the inside of the quarter, forward of side marker and below quarter glass, possibly before quarter was welded on?

- Spatter may not have been a single process; Seems that there was a somewhat thick, stringy dark grey/black base applied first followed by the aqua speckle spatter operation.

- Possible that a thin coat of the Lord Fusor sound deadener was applied to trunk floor, quarter inner wheel housing (trunk side) prior to the spatter operation?

Appreciate hearing what others have discovered on this topic.


Thanks!

Did the factory ever use shims between the Trunk Lid and Hinges on '67-69 Camaros?
