Door Panel Trim Clips ID ???

[55 Fargo]

Hey all, on the door panel clips, some are a little longer than most, are these for the bottom of the doors. Reason being, the clips has to go through the panel andrubber sweep before entering the hole on the door.

My ? is this, does anyone know if my observations are correct.....Thanx Fred

Fred,

I bought all new clips from an old Ford vendor when I did mine. Didn't want to have to clean the rust off the old ones and repaint them. Think it only cost me about $12 for enough clips to do all the interior panels. Think I got twice that much for the old rusty ones when I sold them on ebay.

Now that is good business planning.

I do not mind uysing trhe old ones, don't see why they need to be painted, just a good cleaning , don't think they were ever painted in the factory.

Resto Specialists sells them for about a $1.00 each, so times about 40, = $40.00 plus postage and exchange for me, so $45.00

Guess that's one advantage by going to swap meets. As mentioned got mine from a Ford Vendor that deals both in new and old parts. Bought them from him at the swap meet. Think his price on the clips were about .60 each at the time. But........by the time I counted them out and put them in a bag he only had a few left in the bin. Ask him how much and he said $12 for them all, so took the remaining few that were left too. So.........I have a few extras now.
