They were discontinued in February-March For coupes but they never were discontinued on convertibles.

There were two versions of the retainers for them. Some cars had caplet shaped holes in the quarter and a swell secured clip was pressed into the quarter. Others used welded studs like the ones that hold the windshield moldings.

I don’t know if was an early-late thing or a plant thing...
I’ve got a few Fremont cars, all January to July with the clips. Same for my February built judge from Framingham. My December 68 built Baltimore car has the studs.
