62 Rocker Panel Molding Retainer

[Ed T.]

Does anyone have information on, or photos of, 62 Rocker Panel Molding Retainers. AIM calls out retainer strips but reproductions seem to be tabs...Ed

Re: 62 Rocker Panel Molding Retainer

Here are some photos of the retainers. I bought these from GM in the late 70's. The '62 retainer wasn't available even back then and these are for 63-67. I was told the retainers were the same shape but are longer ( 50" vs 45" for '62 ).
The screw holes are also in the wrong place. The retainers are reproduced and listed for 62-67 with a note to cut down the retainer to 45" for '62

Hello Erich,

Thanks for the photos. I haven't found any similar retainer bars, but Corvette Centrol shows 8 small rectangular retainers tabs. Looks like one for each screw...Ed

The long retainers are available at C.C or Paragon. Type in part #332010 for C.C or #5916 for Paragon.
