Sealing a bad trim clip hole in the windshield channel

[smallbigblock]

Changing a 67 dart's windshield seal and trim to the 68+ style. I drilled some of the hole for the trim clip screw in the wrong location. Now I need to seal them and re-drill.

Any idea's for the best type of sealant? Car is already painted so I can weld them up.

Thanks Doug

If you can't weld them up, I'd be tempted to plug them up with some JB Weld.

Auto body seam sealer.

Both are good ideas, I didn't think of either one. Thanks for the reply

Same screw with sealer that's in the other holes.

Also a great idea

Pack it with "schmutz" ...

If it's not showing pop a rivet in it to hold the sealer better.

Did the same thing on our 67 cuda. This may help. I JB Welded a few holes.

Wow that was a great thread ...Wish I had see it earlier. I had the same problem with the clip sizes ended buying 4 sets of clips to get the right number of smaller clips. Not very cost effective but I couldn't find them any other way. Oh well they are in now just got to fix the holes.

Thanks for the info
