Embarking upon the dreaded windshield cowl repair, and a minor question:
What is the purpose of this funny little clip? One on each side.
Thanks in advance, esteemed Olds folks ✌️ What is this clip for? One on each side. Extreme closeup lol.
Those clips capture the outboard edge of the wide stainless trim at the base of the windshield. The use of a clip like this instead of a screw through a hole allows the stainless to be removed for a windshield replacement without having to pull the fenders off to access screws.

Make a note to yourself to reinstall these clips before you reinstall the front fenders. It's nearly impossible to install them with the fenders installed.
