Wanted: Windshield Molding Clips, 1971 1/2 Ton - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**wesmigletz** · 03-16-2009, 11:46 PM

I'm looking for a complete set of windshield molding clips, and I would also like to find a complete set for the rear window as well. I'm not sure of the proper name, but I need the clips that join the trim pieces in the rubber molding. Two of the rear window trim clips that came with the truck were damaged. I do not have any of the front windhield trim clips.

Most parts vendors carry those.
Brotherstrucks is one of them.

Thank you Luis, I'll check them out.

I checked brother's Truck and Truck and Car shop on-line, and did not see the clips. The truck and car shop had windshield moldings, but I did not see a listing for clips.

A source for the clips, new or used, would be appreciated.

Arent the clips made onto the trim? Rich

Are you referring to the corner pieces and the one for the center that ties the trim together ? If so I have them and I can mail them to you. They are used but they may be able to be polished.

Sleeper truck, that is what I'm referring to. Used will work, I am just wanting to be able to put the windshield back in. Would you like me to send you a paypal?

Thank you,

Wes

I will look for the rear window trim pieces. Im sure you know, get someone to help with the windshield. They can be a bear to put in. I may be headed to SoCal this weekend so I may be able to drop them off. I'll let you know.

Sleepertruck, I planned on having my wife and son help with the windshield. The wife and I did the rear window, but I tweaked the midle clip.

The rear window we used on the 71 SWB was the original back window from my 72 C10. The previous owner of the 72 had a sliding window installed in 1973. He kept the original window, gasket and moldings in the sliding window's box. I even re-used the rubber gasket (hope it doesn't leak!)

I do not have any of the clips for the front. I live in the San Fernando Valley right off the 5 fwy. You'd be more than welcome to stop by. I may have some odds and ends you need as well.

Thanks again,

Wes
