I'm trying to find V5 door moulding clips used at each end of the door.  The Challenger/Dart service manual for 1970 indicates three types of mounting clips used, please correct me if I'm wrong. 

The plastic push in clips and the metal single leg clips appear to be readily available from many vendors. 

Do any of the aftermarket vendors offer the clip style shown below (20251009_084110.jpg, 20251009_084026.jpg and 20251008_193741.jpg)?  The clip is roughly 1 1/4 X 5/8.  I didn't see any at rt specialties.   The closest clip I could find is offered by PG Classics.  I did reach out to said vender regarding dimensions but haven't received a response yet. I assume this style clip was used on more than one body style and trim type?

I'm not apposed to buying good used.

Thank you
M.

avatar_mtull @mtull My first go-to is Ryan at Mancini Racing. I've found that even if they don't have something they can direct you to someone that does. They've never let me down.

be patient and call Tom Race at R/T Specialties. He's most knowledgeable. He might have something that not spelled out in the online catalog.

Thank you avatar_autoxcuda @autoxcuda, I appreciate the feedback.  I talked with avatar_1970Cuda @1970Cuda regarding the clips he used to attach the mouldings on the doors of his Cuda.  The clips are very close in size to those I'm looking for, the only difference being the threaded stud is a 1/4 longer (easy to resolve).

A brief web search indicates PG Classic and a few other vendors offer Door Top Edge Moulding Clips as part of a kit.  Roseville offers a similar kit but appears to use a different style of steel clips I prefer to stay away from for my application.  With all that said,  I'll check with Roseville first and if they can't help I'll reach out to Ryan at Mancini or Tom Race at  R/T Specialties.

Thank you all for the suggestions, much appreciated
M.
