We need more input on this front windshield upper chrome trim clip debate....

8 on the top or 8 + 2 "special" clips?

Chris,
I'm gonna post Mike's thread again.  Page one might have some info to get your brainstorming going.

Mike, I have seen & re read the thread numerous times.  The FSM & parts manual makes no mention of these "extra" clips.....


No one is at this point in their resto???

[Hemidog]

I got my windshield out, and I do not have those two "special" clips, nor do I have a hole for them...
the windshield clip set I bought from legendary only had two different clips...

I've got the glass out of the 68 at the house.  I'll check when I get home today.

I busted the windsheild out of my charger (it was spidered when I got the car)then we to the chrome off I don't remember those clips either of course my grandpa finished the rmoval while I was in the hospital getting glass removed from my eye. Note to self do it the right way!!

Mine has been out for some time however the SS trim was not installed and there were no fasteners in place.

I'll look through some of my salvage yard photos to see if I have any close up reference shots that may reveal something.

[Shakey]

Some general photos that may or may not help.  You'll have to look real close or try and zoom in somehow.

I think the first picture in this post has what you are looking for.

my 69 has 2 special clips on both sides top

Where were they located (second in from top end corners?)

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Sweet Mike!!  Looks like that car had them....   

Anyone else???

[Dodge Don]

I think I found another one

zoom in on second top clip from end and it looks like the short/wide special clip

Chris, my windshield is out....I'll take a look. I'm not sure if my clips are there or not.

[Rolling_Thunder]

I have 8 holes there...

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Im almost thinking this a second half of the year '69 thing, possibly going into the '70 model year......my car has an SPD of 4/30/69

Gonna look in the 70 parts book...

My windshield is out.. I have 10 holes. My car was build JAN 13 69.

Now I have a problem, I did only save the best clips, and they all are the "normal" type
So now I'm in desperate need of those two "special" clips

Welcome to the 10 upper clip club Brian

Looks like Totally Auto supposedly sells the "correct" set for us 10 clip guys....

I just checked....I have 10 holes. My car was built on June 20, 1969. All the clips are missing though.

Welcome to the club Bronzy

Looking in the '70 parts manual (which is a huge PITA over the 69 manual) it makes no reference to any other numbered clip nor does it give an amount needed...just gives the generic "AR" (as required)

[69bronzeT5]

Glad to be in the club

[oestermarken]

Thanks Chris

I hope they will ship to Denmark!

Sorry I haven't sent my car info for the registry yet, I promise to do so

So Chris and I aren't insane. I agree that it may be probable that the use of this clips is aligned to some build date....or perhaps specifically to the assembly plant? All 70s were built in St. Louis. I know 69s were not exclusive to one plant....maybe that is the angle?

[oestermarken]

Mine was build in Hamtramck..
