1969 Barracuda Rocker Molding Clips
Greetings! My Formula S Fastback "did" have rocker moldings, but since my painter tossed them about 8 years ago, and they are now not available, I had to go a different route.
I've purchased a pair of reproduced 1971-1974 Dart/Duster "wide" rocker moldings, which I knew were too long. My plan is to reduce the length to fit properly.
I was happy to learn the moldings are the same construction as the originals, and the original clips will work. I need a total of 18 clips, but only have 13 good ones. The Mopar part number for the clip is: 6002840.
Does any one have one or two they would like to sell? Or a bunch? Or any ideas of where I could find them or a substitute? I've tried most of the links around with no luck.
The clips are a pretty neat design, as the clip is installed first four segment "expanding" mechanism inserted in the 5/16" holes in the rocker. Then the plastic sliding pin is pushed flush to the outside surface, expanding the flange and locking the clip in place. The trim just slips over the beveled edges and is held in place.
I've seen some guys just glue them in place, which may be a solution, but I'd like to try the original clip route if possible. Any help is appreciated.
Best,
Bill
