[Harley PHD]

Anybody have a source for the molding clip for a 1950 coronet rear molding between the windshield and the trunk?

How many do you need? How about just making one yourself from some spring steel wire? The curvature does not look too complicated

I thought it would be easier to buy a set of them.  I made some years ago, but the coat hanger wire I used rusted away. That restoration specialties catalog has to many choices, it will take me a while to go through them.

I think I found one in that catalogue. The shipping cost as much at the clips. part# B1420 from Restoration Specialties, I'll tell you if it is the right part when they come in.

   You could call them or email to determine if it’s correct to your measurements. They had responded to my inquiry’s in the past. Rick D.

I used a 3d printer for the clips.  I have the clips for below the rear window and the ones over the rear quarter and/or doors.  The hold tite and are not too difficult to use.  They are single use and will most likely break when trying to remove.  I can send you the 3mf files for printing if you like.

They were close but a little bit off.  The paper that came with the clips said if they didn't match to send them back with one original clip and they would try to match them.

I'm the one who l picked them out, so I modified them in my vice with a punch and hammer.  some of them didn't survive, but most of them were usable.  I found out if you use the rounded edge of my old vice they broke less.

 

lower left is original clips, right is some I made out of coat hangers when I painted the car in the 1980s, upper left is the failed re-bending of the new clips.
