Dash Pad Trim
«

Does anyone sell the clips that go behind the dash pad trim or know how many there are suppose to be really? My windshield is getting replaced this Saturday and I took the trim off in advance and noticed there are only 2 metal clips attached to the passenger side only. There are 6 spots total where there could be clips. 65 SJ fastback
Thanks

Not following exactly. Are you talking about the windshield molding clips?

Hmm interesting....i know it's not the original windshield. It was replaced by either the first or second owner with a carlite blocked lettering windshield with a date code of 4E. Do you think someone added just the 2 clips?

They're really not necessary on a 65-66 as the molding fits up pretty tight. The dash pad angle is sharper in 67-8, which is probably why they were used... albeit, I have only found them in the center position.

Those are very hard to find on mustangs. I have taken apart alot of early mustangs and the cars with the dash trim never removed usually contain those clips their is a clip for every screw. If they are gone the dash or winshield has been removed or leaked at sometime because they are a total pita to get back in. If some are missing the dash has been tampered with sometime in their life time. My 66 K Coupe for San Jose I have been working on contained all the clips and even 140 or number 01 have the clips

They're not something that would fall off easily upon removal or an owner deem unnecessary and simply discard. On the cars that I have seen them on, I have only ever found one clip, which was in the middle.

For what its worth, I'm using Osborn's Body Assembly Manual for 64 1/2 Mustangs and I don't see the clips called out, just screws.

I was looking through some books and I did find a mention of these clips in two places. One on page 22 of the Mustang interior restoration guide by Art Trantafello. I guess they are called support brackets (part #65045c72). There is a pic on the bottom of the page showing the diagram. They are also shown in the 64.5-73 restoration book diagram on page 92. Very small but you can see it there.

Your car, install them if you like. Not typically found on 65-66 cars as mentioned before.
