'62 Starfire Trim Clips

Hello!
Can anyone please tell me what are the correct clips for attaching the door trim pieces that run along the edges of the brushed aluminum panels on a '62 Starfire? And also where I might find them?
Thanks so much!

Hi KC,
I just come upon your post of Oct 28.
I just ordered the clips from ....autofastco.net..p/n J01869. These are the type clips that were holding the panel trim on my donor. They are a push in clip. I hope that they work, these clips are hard to find.

Now to the taillights. Logic, would say to me in this order...All 4 lights on during the running mode...All 4 lights on bright during the braking mode... Just the selected outside light comes on bright for turn signals during the running mode or flashing bright during the braking mode.

I've checked the bulbs, sockets and wiring to my taillights and all seem good. I noticed that the outer right one occasionally lights up with braking and the outer left lights up when the right turn signal is on. Strange! Someone told me it could be the turn signal circuit switch as all the wires for the tail lights run through it. That sound like a possibility?
