    1964 Skylark exterior side trim, need clips!

    The 2" wide side trim is loose on my "new" Skylark. The clips are a 1 7/8" plastic type, in the area below the rear passenger window. OPGI doesn't seem to have any. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I need 6 of them but I'd be happy to have more for the future. Thanks, Dave
