Hi, and thanks for posting the photo of your rear corner. I note that one of the clips is original and the other is some other type. I'll have to go back and make sure I accounted for two clips at each rear corner. If necessary, I'll edit my post above with the correct number.

I'm going to measure the width of the trim and contact a specialty fastener store to see if they can provide some samples for me to try to see which one fits. Aside from size, it looks like the clips need to be push ins and not screw on, because of the tight space behind many of the holes.

If anyone that has restored this trim has any advice, please let me know.

Cheers,
Nick
