1965 Catalina 2+2 Trim Clips & Hardware
 
3 Attachment(s)
The trim has been off for over 20 years, most of it was off when I bought it. I have no idea what some of the trim mounting clips are supposed to look like. I know which clips I need for the front windshield and back glass.

Any direction of the following would be greatly appreciated.

1. Lower side trim clips. *below the bottom flare line. Fender dog leg, door, quarter before and after tire. are these the spring loaded clips with bolts? the holes are all round. One side had couple of wire spring clips that google photo search says are off of a mustang, The other side has the pinwheel looking spring clip. I cannot find either in any searches, just bolt in clips.

2. Vinyl or painted top molding that goes around rear pillar and below the back glass. Again these are round holes. You can see them in the photo, I have small rubber body plugs in the holes to keep rain out. I don't have any of these to even search for. I vaguely remember removing some rusted bolted in clips.

Thanks Steve. I looked through the 228 page catalog. I'm sure they have what I need! I'll reach out to them with the photos to get the correct part.

I still need to figure out what the painted roof / vinyl trim clips look like.

Thank you!

Auveco is an OEM supplier as well

I was finally able to track the clips down.
The small vinyl top beltline clips are Auveco 12962 for about $1.60 each.
The lower door molding clips are Auveco 11781 but do not appear in any catalogs. I have found them, but they are a tad more pricey. $6 - $7 each plus shipping.
Thanks for the help everyone.
