Door trim clips

Getting ready to wrap up the interior of my 66 and I’ve come to a stopping point because I can not locate the clips needed for the chrome trim on the inside of the doors, it’s the trim that goes around the door panels where the window crank and door handle sit. If anyone knows where to locate these items it would be greatly appreciated if you could pass that along.

This is the person who had those reproduced. They were out of them a couple of years ago. Don't know if they have had more made. Give them a call otherwise you will have to find some used ones. What happened to the ones that came off of your truck?

Here's the individual clip listing

https://www.parts123.com/parts123/dy...=0001018cAAKXD

....and here's the "Set" listing ****it doesn't say, but my assumption (based on the price) is this would only be enough for one door??

https://www.parts123.com/parts123/dy...=0001018cAALDX

**Randy has now edited the above listing, which now notes "one Set does one door"

***(13) re'qd for each door, (26) total

Spacers

Don't forget these things. They go under the plastic to prevent the arm rest from crushing it.
The original spacers are 1/8 inch thick and 1 1/8 wide by 2 1/2 tall. That notch is 1/2 X 3/8 and is 5/8 down from the top. The factory used tape to keep them in place just like in this picture. They also had a little sealant on each clip. Some of the after market door trim panels are thicker than the originals and require a thicker spacer.

They look close enough to me, and I'm short about ten clips. Off to Amazon!

Well, some one's got to go first, but if I was a betting man, my $$ would be on them NOT WORKING, but good luck !!

If you had one of each in your hand, you'd already know the answer............

They will NOT work on the door trim. That type are for the dash trim and those may not even work there.

They are too thick, aren't they. I remember now that the correct ones are just thin sheet steel.

I have 3 complete sets of trim that were polished and anodized. I have new clips 26 .. 13 per door plus Butyl tape.
I put them up for sale and didn't get one nibble. some people wanted just the clips and said I was asking to much, same price as Melvins. So I pulled the sale and have been sitting on them ever since.

Worked on my 65

I ordered from Melvin's a while back. I ordered a few more than required and glad I did. A few of them were collapsed and wouldn't hold. Rest worked fine.
