I am trying to find a part number or place to buy the bottom vinyl top trim clips that are right above the quarter panel... they run horizontal and there are 3 per side and they are held on with screws. Any help would be appreciated.
I have pics but can't seem to post them.

I believe that 7669866 is what you need? VPartsinc.com says they have 69 in stock. Get them to pull it and maybe send a couple of pics.

These are the clips, I want to replace them while the car is apart, but the screws are pretty bad, was going to cut them off and just put the new clips next to where the old ones were. Just going to weld up the old holes where the screws are now. Putting the vinyl top back on the car after I paint it and it looks like these also hold down the vinyl top material under the screws.

Little tip - those were originally rivets, spaced out so the clips 'slid' in. Reason was so they could be painted and be sealed with the paint, inhibiting rust possibilities.
When using screws, if the paint is chipped, the humidity causes rust under the roof, which is the last place you want it!
I've seen it come back in as little as 18 mo!

Find a way to seal it before top installation, save grief down the road!

I am going to paint and seal the entire roof before the top goes back on.
And the car was painted at least once after GM built it...so someone must have screwed these clips on? I have the dent puller welder gun with the adapter to weld the studs back on if that is what should be on there.
