Did your clips match the 68 diagram?I have stainless trim on my 67 didn’t even realize the difference.
Seems like glass removal would be needed to get to clips.Did your clips match the 68 diagram?
My 67 has it as well.
It has 1 repaint on the exterior, done in the late 80s early 90s from what I'm told.
Not sure if sourcing 68 front/rear window trim was a thing then.
Dare I suggest since it was a late May 67 build it came like that?
I bought new 68 rubber to reseal all the glass, wonder if the clips will match the diagrams.
From what I gather here, the clips are available new in a kit, hope so, just in case.
I'll be pulling the glass, but curious, I replaced clips on another car, had to remove glass, same with these?
Ok, so I see that it can be a bit proud. Ill go forward with a little shave off the bottom but not whole hog. Ill fit with the gasket and then take the whole shitterooo apart and put in the glass.
Or at least that is what Im saying right now.....10 min later he is trying to stuff everything in at once
Not perfect.... but not bad either.
Nice work. Looks good!And the rear. Took a chance and tinted the glass before install. I feel like the dog needs every chance he can get to stay cool.
But really it's for the modern headlights blinding me at night.

I tried to put it on myself as I have done it before, but the curve was a bit too learning for me. I took it to some nice fellas that used a 15%. Pretty dark but not limo dark. I hope I haven't pushed this car too far with the tint and paint. You can make them look like crap if you try to hard and I really won't know until I can get it outside to get a good look at it.Nice work. Looks good!
Was thinking about doing that myself. When I say myself, I mean having a tint shop put it on... ;-)
Where did you get your tint? What % light transmission?

Good to know.I found there was a gap between the trim and the gasket on the lower "swoopy" corners on the back glass. The trim is flush with the adjacent metal so no lowering of the clip to bring the trim closer towards the pinch weld. I used some non hardening window glaze to fill the gap.
The other solution would be to push the window outward at the bottom to lessen the gap.
Thanks, that's the stuff.3m 08509
Im not totally sure if filling in the gap is proper, but i don't see an alternative at this time. I may toy with pushing seal out, but sometimes it's best to play it cool and let it lie.
My mindset has gone in the direction of get it running and driving.
