Clips/ fasteners photos 71 windshield trim

[Paul O.]

Does anyone have photos detailing the trim mounting clips/fasteners locations? I am helping one of our chapter members restore his 71 convertible and he has misplaced his detailed photos and has replaced the top and rt side rails and left corner. Any photos showing there location would be of great help. It has been a long time since I was under the trim and the assembly manual is not detailed enough. Thanks for the help. Paul 18046

This is from a 69 web page. Don't have it's address just some pictures, perhaps they are useful. Are those clips the ones you are looking for?

Hi Paul,
I think you may be asking about the trim on the A-pillars, too.
It's pretty straight forward to locate the holes for that trim. The piece of SS trim that goes on the post must first be located so the top inner edge of it (against the windshield glass) locks the long thin piece of windshield header trim in place. Once you get that connection right you can see where the pillar holes need to be drilled because the screw holes are pre-drilled in the trim.
You can see the connection of the long thin piece with the A-pillar trim in this picture. I hope this helps.
Regards,
Alan
