Correct windshield trim clips

I’m looking for the correct chrome trim clips for a 65 442 convertible for the windshield. Seems there are a few different ones available. But, not sure which ones are correct. My car does not have the studs in the windshield opening around the frame to attach clips. So, looking at the possibility to use stainless steel screw to attach the clips
any help would be greatly appreciated

There is a stud welder that most body shops have that will weld new studs in the frame to attach the reveal molding clips to. Or you can buy your own from Harbor Freight.

Thanks for the info. I think, I will check out the tool at Harbor Freight. Now just need to find out what are the correct trim clips to buy. I have done a complete offer frame to this car and have had a very difficult time fining parts for it. Not many parts available for 1965 cars out there. But, getting down to the final nuts and bolts
