Anyone have a source for the small clips, that hold the windlace onto the body? My '57 two and four doors both use them, but the four door requires many more than the 2 door. Ninety percent break when I try to pull them out, due to not being treated to resist rust...

If you don't find them in their catalog be sure to give them a call. I sent in samples of what I was looking for an they were able to find something that worked.

Thanks! I've printed their catalog...except it may have been cheaper to send money for one, looking at all the ink and paper I used... :p

I used part# 10744 from the site Clips and Fasteners. They are plastic and have small barbs and hold very well.I did it on my 1959 Plymouth Fury.Go to 59 Plymouth Sport Fury.net , Show your ride, forum, I am "Winter of 59" about page 10 or 11. I used A small phillips screw driver to puncture and locate the hole and then used A small tack hammer to drive the clip into the hole. The price was about $6.00 per 100 plus ship. They worked very well!!!! Good luck Mark
