Re: [Chrysler300] SS trim clips for 55 or 56 300 or coupes per se

["obiwan10" <obiwan10@xxxx>]

I recently removed my rear window trim(56 300 plus all of the other stainless) for polishing. The clips(in the rear window) are different sizes and shapes depending where they are located in the window. They probably will be ok to reuse(unless badly rusted) but may need a little surgical bending to get them to fit snugly when reinstalling trim.

Basically you want them to fit in the stainless snugly enough so that when you reinstall and tighten the nuts that hold them in place, that the stainless keeps them from turning.

You should note where each one come from as you remove them and use body putty(3 M) for filling the body holes before reinstalling them. 

It is a very tricky procedure to get it all together(should have 2 people for part of the job).

I was recently at a Goodguys show where at the swap meet a fellow had a booth that sold nothing but these little trim doodads in all shapes and sizes. I would have purchased a handful of them, but so many look very similar that I did not. You must have your old ones with you to match to the ones that he sells.

Good luck in polishing your stainless. I spend many hours on mine and feel that it came out pretty good and I was pretty pleased with myself when done. Better then 90 per cent of the so called professional results that I have seen. It just takes a lot of time and patience and the right equipment and technique. The results of correctly polished stainless are worth the effort but I am not certain that I would ever care to do it again.

Does anyone know of a source for the clips that hold the ss trim around the rear window? I need to remove mine for polishing and fear that I will also need to replace the clips. I tried RT in Pa and he has no knowledge what the clips look like. RT in arizona has nothing to fit. Wait your replies
