known source for Newport vinyl clips

[Mike McGuire]

Hello C body folks,

Can anyone in the knowledge pool kindly direct me to a reliable source for these vinyl top clips?
They are for a 68 Newport.

Thanks and Happy motoring.

eBay or R/T Specialties or NAPA.

Probably available from a vendor "Auveco", or similar. A somewhat common item years ago. Held outer metal moldings onto exterior body panels. Hence the "gasket" on them to decrease water intrusion. Different sizes, too.

These are rather tricky to locate......
No luck on ebay, R/T specialties Napa or Auveco.
Although I haven't given up the ghost yet.

Best I could find was from Roseville Moparts for a Charger, see pic. The rectangular part on the original, photo at top of thread, is made of felt, while these new ones are foam.
Doesn't really matter, as they are hidden from view. (although $60 yikes), will keep poking along.

Double check the number. 6002293, but I believe that's correct.
