Upper door panel clips

[KlsCuda]

Anyone know here I can get upper door panel clips for a 70 Cuda? My car has none and the few places I've seen them online say backordered or not available.

@Surfcuda was looking for these last year and believe he got scammed trying to buy just a few. I pinged him so hopefully he will respond with what he wound up getting.

Thanks! Any help would be great.

Hey Kiscuda, Xcudame was on point. Luckily I found them through a vendor at the Spring Fling in Van Nuys CA. They have been on back order for years. Note I got them in a set and you really only need two. Yes, unfortunately I did get scammed here trying to find them. So on that note let me look into my parts bin for two of them. If so they are yours. I will get back to you. Regards Rob

I too am looking for 2 sets of those clips. Gave up looking for them.

Kiscuda, I have 3 of these Hen’s Teeth from my parts bin. Crazy you would think these would be easily found. Definitely not the case. I looked for 2 years and finally got lucky with a vendors who had one last set. PM me and let me know

Each panel has three clips. You only need one per panel in the center slot. Solid installation using just one.

Very difficult to install with the other clips on. Impossible to mount with three of them. Don’t ask how I know.

I received the mounting information on using one clip to install the panels from other very knowledgeable Mopar enthusiasts on FEBO and other sites. Hope this helps.

I asked Alan G about these clips a few weeks back because I was trying to install my panels with all 3 clips. He told me that he doesn't use any because they are pretty much useless anyway.

I tried to install without any clips at first but the panel wouldn’t lock into the door at the top. After getting the clips, using one in the center of each panel it tightly locked the top of the panel onto the door making it easier to install. Also secured it very solidly across the top. Just my experience

I like this approach. When I finally get around to doing mine I will try this.
