I believe you are talking about the reveal moulding clips.  I saw them while scanning the RT Specialties site yesterday.  They have the front's, rear's, or both in a set.  The set was $49 which is about what I have seen them for elsewhere. 

Bill with AM Hightech Auto is planning on carrying them but I don't see that he has them listed yet.  I wish Bill would get more of the stuff that RT Specialties lists.  They always seem to be out of stock (although they appear to have these clips).  Could be that outfits like Jack
's Auto Parts, Paddock, Year One, and Stephens in Anderson, AL buy the whole stock as soon as RT Specialties get some in.

Thankx Chatt69chgr

the Reveal Clips I have them already, what I am looking for is what the Reveal Clips attach to the little metal tabs on/in the inner of the rear and front windshields but thankx for the info though other then that got stuck in MN yesterday missing my connection flight to AK by 20 minutes. no flights going out of MN for a week or so; so going back home to MD instead of waiting around for a opening.

thankx again for the info Merry Christmas :cheers:

The trim rivets that the clips attach to are spot welded to the body, you need a tool like the one in the link below to weld them on:

You can buy that welded stud dent puller from Harbor Freight for around $100.  I bought one but have not used it yet.

I'm not sure if the Harbor Freight welder will do trim rivets, it takes a different tip than the one used for pull studs.

 I have always called them molding tits/studs. Let me know how easy or hard they are to put new ones on. :popcrn:
