Who has BEST windshield trim clips?

  After removing my windshield trim on my 70 Charger for paint prep I found my clips are rusted badly! These were newly installed a few years ago and the car was mostly under my carport out of direct rain. As I'll be removing my rear glass soon I want to install new clips after repairs and will not be using the clips for the rear I bought at the same time as the front.
  The darn new clips I have rusted 100% more than the 40+ year old rear clips on the back of the car! Who sells QUALITY clips that do not rust!  :shruggy:
(Thanks!)

I doubt there's going to be much difference in quality from one to the other. These clips are most likely made by one or two manufacturers and plated in just a thin coating of black zinc, so that's not going to last long. If you want something to last a long time I'd take your next set down to the plater and have him replate them in nickel.

Neal, I've seen the originals have some sort of funky green plating.
If your worried, you can always give them a coat of protective clear, or paint them black or something to keep them from rusting.
