69 Coupe hinge pillar weatherstrip

[Philip A.]

does anyone know which is the correct screw that goes into the top of the weatherstrip to secure it to the top of the hinge pillar. The one I took out and reinstalled sure is close to the top of the door glass. Might I add the AIM doesn't really help me. Pics would be appreciated as well
TIA

I have 2-pretty original 69's here. I'll get a picture in the morning. Please.

Actually two screws near the top, or should I say, near the bottom of the windshield.
The closest to the windshield is a pan-head, cross-recess screw, with a small rectangular sheet metal washer under it.
Farther down the weatherstrip, is just a pan-head cross-recess screw. Both appear to be a black-phosphate.

I'll try and add them into the 68-69 TIM&JG.

Re: 69 Coupe hinge pillar weatherstrip

Gary thanks so much for those. But what I am need is which screw or type is at the top of the Hinge pillar weatherstrip nearest the top of the windshield.
Maybe I should have started with these pics. The screw that came out/depicted seems like it will just spread its way thru the rubber and not aid in holding it secure.
Notice how the glass is so close to it when installed and window up.

Re: 69 Coupe hinge pillar weatherstrip

The 69 I have at the house, does not have a screw on either side there. Neither does my 68 coupe, nor my 70 coupe.
I would be concerned about a screw there hitting the window and chipping it. Or tightening it too tight and hitting windshield.
That trim screw was typically use on the wheel opening moldings on metal cars, back in the day. I wonder if that's a dealer inspired addition?

Re: 69 Coupe hinge pillar weatherstrip

Actually that screw is a countersink type with the countersink type of washer. It is odd why the chrome top piece that seems original to the car due to its pitting would have a hole there for a screw. its beyond me why someone would add a screw there when adhesive seems to be suffice.
Thanks for the help!
