<VV> windshield trim clip studs

[corvair at mb.sympatico.ca]

John,

The exact number of clips isn't critical. You need to make sure that you have a couple clips close to the ends of the lower and upper trip strips ("Windshield reveal mouldings"). Maybe within about 2-3" of the ends.

If you have the proper size clips then they mount flush to the bottom of the frame. The top of the clip shouldn't extend past the top edge of the frame or the mouldings won't fit flush (note: a few years ago Clark's was selling clips that were too tall at about .7" long. They swapped mine out for newer ones approx .65" tall. Check yours.)

I used the replacement clips that screw into place.

A good glass guy will be able to both supply the clips and install them in the right spots.

I'm having oh-so-much fun installing the new windshield panel in my 1965 
Monza, and now I've hit a snag.  Where exactly do the little windshield trim 
studs go?  I'm assuming that the spacing is the same as the seven studs 
along the top of the windshiel (although I could be wrong about that), but 
what I need to know is this:  do the studs go dead in the center of the 
ledge, or do they go slightly forward or backward from the center?  If so, 
which direction, and how far?

And am I correct in assuming that there should be seven on them, spaced just 
like the ones at the top?

Thanks,
