Windshield molding clips - 2 styles

Not for sure what you are working on...but on a 70 Dart the short clips go on horizontally across, the ones with the oval holes go on vertically. You will find the holes are drilled much closer to the edge on the vertical post, and this is where the oval holes come into play...

ps. this site has a great search engine

So are you saying the oval clips are put at the corners of the windows , on the horizontal? The oval gives you very slight leeway for adjustment. So it would make sense the corners would be the placement? I am not making a statement, that was more of a question, to see if I understand you correctly
