At least that's how I'd describe them.

Anyone know what these are called or have a source? These are the clips (3) that screw to the filler panel, hold at least some tension on the rear glass and also accept trim for the rear window. I'm doing a vinyl top delete, so maybe I don't even need these specifically, maybe theres a different typte for the non-vinyl roofs.

If anyone can point me in the correct direction, I'd really appreciate it it.

Thanks

I believe that is a GM part number 20935358, panel, cover retainer, cannot find a picture anywhere to verify it. Used with the RPO CB5 vinyl top option.

OK, so it looks like I'll need something else for the trim around the rear window, which may uncomplicate things with regard to these parts.

20655818 is the part number for the support blocks if it's a Cutlass, 81-up 2 door.

What kind of car? Makes a difference. 20325563 is for Monte and GP.

You may need some of those special umbrella clips for the lower trim. Again, depending on the car dictates the number of clips needed...p/n 3066259

If you find you need some umbrella clips, hit me up. I might have a few. :)

Wow... that's a clip hoard!

It's an 86 Cutlass.. The last time I deleted a vinyl roof was in the late 80's and the car was a 74 Monte. This is proving to be quite different in regards to the replacement trim.

To answer your earlier question- the filler panel is the same for vinyl or non-vinyl top cars, so are the little plastic blocks. You sorta need them because of the three little bolts that hold the front of the panel to the plastic.

Can't recall whose car this came from, but here's 6 of the 8 umbrella clips installed on the filler panel. Note, you're looking at the bottom of the filler panel. The "U" part of the clip faces downward when installed correctly.

It's the little plastic blocks I'm looking for. I have the three that were on the car when I bought it but they are cracked/broken. I could make them work if I have too, but if I can find replacements, I'd rather go that route.
