Does anyone know the measurement spacing for the little welded studs that hold the front & rear window trim clips like in the photos?

Thanks all.

The factory used a sheet metal screw to hold it on, spacing dose not matter much, just even them out you can weld the studs on you have the stud welder ? They my not fit the clip, check it first , some times the studs get bent when you try to put the clip on or even brake off . I have only seen the studs on GM and Ford cars .save your self the fuss and I use a nice stainless screw

Also, some reproduction glass is thinner than original glass, so to avoid loose trim you may need a thicker ribbon of sealant to raise the glass

On my Chally, they vary from 7 1/2" to 8 1/2" apart. There are 6 on the top and 3 going down each side, front and rear (exactly like your photo). I have a new filler panel and plan to install 6 or 7 down there, equal distance, but minding the joint location. Looks like some rusted out and someone replaced the studs with the screws a 1/2" away from the original location.
