1960 Cadillac 62 Coupe quarter panel trim fasteners wanted. These are the fasteners that go into the rectangular holes in the rear quarter panels above the skirts.

Try www.clipsandfasteners.com
or some of the other restoration trim parts suppliers.   There should be something that fits, may not be original but won't show.   Finding good originals maybe a task.

I spoke to Ernie on the phone when he first posted this.

What he needs are the inserts that push into the holes in the quarter that accepts the pins that are on inserts that slip into the molding, but they are not the actual clips.

These are nearly impossible to locate so he will likely have to improvise to get the molding back on.

Are they square nylon or metal?   Pin hole threaded or unthreaded? 

You might be able to change over to a regular spring clip that bolts/speed nuts and center the square hole with a spacer.   Talk to a good bodyman.
