Guys,
Does anyone repro these? I may need both males that mount to the door panel & the females that go into the door shell.
Thanks, Bob

I've been struggling with this issue for some time and have not really found a good solution.

Although the clips for the '70 are different than the '68, the problems are similar as in this post below.  The section that fits in the door panel is rotated 90 degrees on the '70 clip.

I am considering using these clips along with the matching retainers and then drilling out bigger holes in the doors.  I have purchased something similar to these, but have not installed yet.  I would love to know if someone has a better solution.

Assuming they are the same for a 69. I had a difficult time locating the male ends. Fortunately, the female ends were still intact. The way I found them was sending messages to sellers on eBay asking if they also had them along with my other items. It worked very well and I knocked out most of wish list using this method. I'd check Captain Cadillac on eBay as well and send him a message.
