Re: [FWDLK] Windshield/Rear window molding clips

Hi Ron-

 

I would assume by their bright finish and the business card enclosed with the parts is that they are newly-made reproductions.

 

Here's the contact information from the business card enclosed with the items:

 

RJ&L Automotive Fasteners--Manufacturer and Supplier of Automotive Fasteners

P.O.Box 143

Penfield, NY 14526-9998

Phone/Fax 315-986-7121

www.rjlautofasteners.com

rjlfast@xxxxxxxxxxx

 

I have not e-mailed him directly at this point.

For the moment, I'll make a bet he's riding out the elevated price I paid (which probably wasn't that bad)  like the rubber floor mat guy did with his repops that sold for hundreds & hundreds of dollars, now struggling to make a sale at $195.00.

John -

 

Are his NOS, or are they new repros ? If it's the latter, then maybe he'd be willing to make up a large order for the 300 Club and the ForwardLook folks, at a reduced price.

Subject: [FWDLK] Windshield/Rear window molding clips

I recall there was some talk of reproducing the window molding clips for the 1957-1959 Chryslers.  I found and purchased a set from a vendor on eBay:

I compared one of them to what is left of the rusted ones on my 59 Windsor parts car - the rear window lower clips look pretty good, the ones with the shortest "legs".

 

The car set usually goes for just over $40, and the vendor only puts one set up every other week or so, so you'll need to keep your eyes open.

 

If the link I posted above doesn't work, try http://stores.ebay.com/RJL-AUTOMOTIVE-FASTENERS_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZQ2d33QQftidZ2QQtZkm  a link right to the seller's store.
