These hold the fender to body seal in place and attatch the seal to the rear fender brace. What are they called? Does anyone have a source for them. Mine need to be replaced because of rust and fatigue.

Judging by the photo provided, that appears to be either a stray corn flake, or perhaps an anchor on the ocean floor. Sorry had to do it.

I have never seen them available. I've used plastic fasteners on some, and sheetmetal screws on others for attachment.

Don't feel bad, I thought it was my glasses. I was actually bowing my head up and down trying to focus in with my progressive lenses.

those are Thingamajigs! very rare, at least most do not survive longer than 15 years in most climates.

I bought these, they were correct and worked perfectly.

Looks like someone is finally reproducing those, cool chevyguys.

Are these for the part called the "closing panel" ? They run vertically between fender and body?

I didn't know that they had new ones. I used self taping screws to repair mine. It worked well.

Thank you, chevyguys those are exactly what I'm looking for. You came up with the name and a source for them.
