Molding fasteners
Mocking up the vinyl top trim molding and forget how they were fastened at the spot with the hole? Should there be a hole drilled in the pot metal piece?
The rest of the trim is held on by the clips which use the stud and the front uses a screw. I dont recall what that was for? Was there another fastener with a stud that gets bolted from inside trunk?

Paul, it's been a long time since I worked in that area. I believe there is a clip with a stud that slides into the molding at the rear. The pot metal piece just slides into the molding, I think. I think you can see it in the"related thread" under this one. Joe P. posted a pic of the clip. There are different types and sizes, but something like that.

Wow, that's a weird one! I don't think so, Dean. I think it's like one of those clips below this at the bottom of the Auveco chart. Not related topics but related thread underneath the topics. I don't know how to pull it up here.

Here are a few more examples from my 1971 CS vinyl top trim mounting things.
Here is a sliding stud. These are used where you have access from the Trunk to add on a speed nut.
Some have studs welded to the trim. Usually found on corners and places with trunk access.
Here is a sliding mount. The screw goes into the roof.
In the picture above, the screw actually goes in the other direction

Hi MY442:
Not all Fisher body manuals are the same.
The one in the pictured below only contains a few items about mounting trim and only lists a fraction of the mounting devices .
I found it almost useless when I tried to identify my clips.
Which manual do you have?
