Good morning everyone. My problem is this. On my 67 GTO after repairing both front and rear window runs I ended up with less molding anchor pegs than I need. Anyway, not only do I need to know what to replace the little pegs with. I also need to find out the correct location I need to install them at? The rust in these areas was so bad I had no chance of saving them, and it's been to long to remember much. I looked in the 67 Assembly manual which is just a copy of pages from the real one but it's worthless because the print is so poor I can't see or rear anything. $25.00 for a pile of cheap paper. Anyway, if anyone has an idea of where i can get the information or some help please let me knoow. Thank you very much, and good day to all. <Mike>

I am not sure if PY has these but I have seen them in AMES catalog. They are screw in type anchor studs. I have a 68 and they will work for me, I dont see why they wouldnt for yours.

On my 68 I have 13 molding anchors interspaced evenly over the windshield frame. Mine were undamaged and original. I would probably place more anchors at the top and then evenly down the sides. Plus I would think if you had more anchors than not you would be fine.

Hope that helps.

For some reason 8 inch spacing stands out in my memory . . .

I'm pretty sure repair kits are available from our sponser. These are small screws. I went out and looked at my 67 that has the rear glass out. On the bottom piece I have 13 pegs which are spaced at several different distances between about 2 1/2 and 7 inches apart and about 15/16ths down from the ledge. I had to fabricate the top and installed 10 across- probably not correct but should function ok. All in all its probably not that critical.

a good body or resto shop should have a stud welder that can install the pins.

the screw in units are an option but i prefer the weld on ones if the car isn't painted yet.

I hired into the Fisher Body plant in Pontiac Mi. in 1968, that is where all the GTO bodys where built. The way we used to repair the clip studs is with a screw in the clip, so if that is the way you repair it than it is the same way the factory would do it (so I guess it would be factory correct) you would be surprised how many cars are out there with screws, we would break the studs all the time when we installed the clips

Thank you for mailing me. The shop that has done most of the ground up on the car said that the stud welder they have will not get into the area because they are all to large. Do you know of one that would work? I may buy one and have it aorund in case I need something that will fit in other small areas. The shop also said that they would like to weld them and that it would be much better. Anyway, if anyone knows of a unit that's small enough to to these please let me know. Thanks, and good day friends. < Mike >

I also used the screw in type...just drilled a hole, put some (rtv blue silicon sealer on threaded end of stud) & tightened down...worked great, if you decide to go this route e-mail me with how many you think you need, got plenty left over, freebees for whoever needs them

Body shop guy I talked to about the same problem said to pop rivet the clip to the body. Draw a line and follow the line to make sure they are all the same height. He was in the process with a 72 Camaro when I asked. Looked alright and nobody sees them.

eastwood sells the stud welders for trim repair. 31041B is the #for the tip to use with the stud welder. 31041D is for the rivets.
