Good afternoon, I just recently had my 1971 Plymouth fury III repainted and the body shop put the wrong size rear window trim clips around my new old stock rear window.
As you can see in the photos, they’re too tall for the trim.
Can someone please point me to the exact size needed and if possible connect me to the easiest place to buy them. Again need the rear window trim, Clips.

Mine is a 71 four-door sedan Not a hard top. It appears that those clips may not fit mine. Or do you have a 71 four-door sedan and used them?
I have a ‘70 300 2 door, but a lot of these parts interchange. Perhaps someone else can confirm? If you can find the part number you can find what interchanges as well. Also, measure the channel to see if the 1/2 inch clip will fit low enough. What size is in there now?

Thank you again for your help!. I was able to measure them and the ones that are in there are basically 3/4 x 3/4. So obviously the half inch would work.
I can’t find the measurements of the ones you sent me a link to, but I’m assuming those are the 1/2 inch ones? If so, I’ll order today! The next problem is getting it back to the Body Shop and then figuring out how to get the clips off. I’m afraid they’re gonna have to pull the window back out which may be fine because it looks like it needs adjusting to me! Appears too tight on the bottom. Thanks again for your help.

Yes. Blue is the front, brown is the rear.

I wondered about the clip removal as well. I had my glass guy confirm the hight with the trim before he put the glass in.

Awesome! Thank you so much! That’s the joy of these forums and car clubs! I’m betting that the wind is gonna have to come back out!
