Hi everyone,

I just got my car back from the body shop after a bit of paint work, n' the job required the removal of my rear 1/4 panel trim.  I'm trying to locate a new set of side trim retaining clips for a '59 Cadillac Series 6200.  I checked the McVey and CaddyDaddy sites, does anyone have a source for these?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See Forrest's (Ottoskorzeny) very long list of suppliers and vendors, look for Restoration Specialties.  A link to the list is at the bottom of every one of Forrest's posts.

If they look like these, you can get them at most autobody supply stores. I think the originals probably snapped into a hole. These would work too if you can't find the correct ones. There should be enough room to reach in there and get a nut on the back.

Thanks guys, I managed to actually find a set at a local shop here in town.  Thanks for the info on that list, though!  I'll keep that one in mind.
