#1 Hardtop front chrome trim clips

Post by MontanaDiver » Fri Jan 30, 2026 9:04 pm

Image[/img][/img]I have a new to me hardtop in the shop to be repaired and refreshed. When the front chrome trim was removed, there are two types of clips. The normal square ones and maybe three to four round clips. I can find the square ones but I haven’t seen anything that provides me info about the round ones. Where these used at one time or are they just the anomaly of working on 50 year old parts. I will try to post a picture when I go back to the shop this afternoon.


Thanks
Dennis

There are similar trim clips retaining the bonnet grill surround. I don’t know the are same size but could be an option.

Are these the same items used elsewhere?
Series 1 FHC purchased 50 years ago. Courted my wife in it.
Series 1 2+2 when the kids were small now sold.
Series 1.5 OTS in opalescent maroon, Californian car. My retirement present.
