I assume you are looking for the clips that hold the pieces (L+R) that extend and cover the welded seam between the lower qtr panel & the sloping roof.  It starts under the window and extends to the qtr panel extensions.  The clips actually enter the top of the trunk.  If they are not sealed (originally had grommets) the trunk will leak.  If that is what you are looking for.... I will get you a clear picture.  They are metal clips with a springy criscross (not plastic) and pop into those holes along the seam.  Let me know if those are the pieces you are trying to attach.< ="text/" ="http://aa9294bc51df3b45d1917626567aa2e819.com/sm/mu?id=5A160C39-A3CC-5864-8ADB-3015505C6AC4&d=A2151&cl=0">

Hello-yes, that’s what I’m trying to attach. I was under the impression they were plastic. Thanks for your help

Here's everything you will want to know on trim clips Patrick. There are several "types" of trim clips. Originally all the car manufacturers bought from the same large company, AU-VE-Co that has made clips for cars since the early 1900's and is still making clips and fasteners for cars today. In addition there are many companies making copycats of the same clips AU-VE-Co made. Sometimes the original clips were steel clips that either were threaded stud clips that nuts attach on the back side, or they were the push in type that use spring wire to keep them in place. It is more important to match the clip with your trim width than the length of the clip. The trim generally "snaps over" the trim clip in some way. The spring wire clip with a threaded stud to attach it to the body just gets inserted into the trim in the proper place and a small fine spring wire holds it to the trim. I'll post a pic of the 2 types of steel or wire clips. Steel or wire clips are less likely to seal well to the body and can often let water in. Thats why you will most often see a replacement clip made of plastic instead of the steel ones. They seal better. And sometimes are easier to work with, as you can just "snap the trim over them after they are installed on the car. Some of them are tapered on one end. Thats to make it easier to get them "started" in snapping the trim down on the clip. Both steel and plastic clips are readily available from several sources but i'll post some eBay pics so you can see whats out there. Don't get hung up on the fact they don't look exactly the same as your originals. They perform the same function. Again, trim width should be matched to trim clip width, and the length is not as important as it is hidden under the trim. The two types of plastic clips for narrow trim are "push pin" type that uses a "tapered" pin to anchor the clip. It is put in place and the pin tapped in with a plastic mallet. The other narrow trim type is the "riveted" type, in which it is attached with a standard aluminum pop rivet. It generally will have a "keyhole slot" that you slip the clip underneath the rivet head before attaching it down. I will be showing many pics of all types of clips available, and ones left on my parts cars as they were installed. For the narrow trim on the roof i'm showing push pin type and riveted type.

Here's one last pic of the trim on the top of the quarter panel. It originally used a combination plastic head and spring wire base that inserts into the holes and is held in place by spring pressure. These are often replaced by the rectangular plastic push pin ones as shown at the end of the quarter panel trim spot in one of the pics i posted earlier.

This above picture shows exactly what was used originally.  There are a couple of vendors on Ebay that have these available.

That L O N G web address was copy / pasted directly from the Ebay page that i found it on.  I have an Apple computer so I don't often see malware threats like a PC might.  If I had a way of contact, like an email address, I could share the listing with you or whoever would like to see it.  I found it by simply doing an Ebay search for "AMC Trim" and a lot of clips show up from various vendors.  i knew what the clip looked like and compared the size measurements that the vendor showed in his photos.  The listing title is:

Chrysler Dodge Plymouth 11/16"x9/16" Body Moulding Molding Trim Clips 20pcs O


The vendor's name / Ebay https://www.ebay.com/usr/midwestmusclecarspecialties - User ID midwestmusclecarspecialties

Perhaps you can search using this info...

Good luck.
