1963 cp rear window molding clips by Keen parts

[Bob W.]

Has anyone used these clips? Keen states they are 1/32'' longer to fit modern weatherstrips. I have original molding and repo weatherstrips.


Thanks Bob

Bob a customer had his 63 coupe repainted which included removing the glass and replacing the weather striping. Which they did and put the stock clips for the SS back in too.
I got the job of reinstalling the SS trim.
Which was impossible because the thickness of the rubber would not allow the SS to clip in.
So with much turpitude I taped off the glass & new paint and took a grinder to the rubber.
Success in the form of attached SS trim and no damage to anything occurred.
I took the rest of the day off.
Longer clips certainly would help make the fitment easier. Or get your grinder and tape out.

Scott thank you for your reply. Someone else posted about shaving the weatherstrip sometime ago I had hoped someone had used the longer clips. At some point I will give Keen a call to make sure they will work with the original SS moldings.

Thanks Again Bob
