Seal? What seal?
Let me rephrase that - does it have a urethane seal or something else that seals the glass in or just adhesive??

Just a lot of black goop from what I can tell. It actually looked like there was a two-sided black rubberized sticky tape of some sort holding the glass down, and then surrounded with urethane to keep the moisture out.

The clips arrived and appear to match the originals.
Now to find the clips for the moulding that divides the roof from the quarter that fits these holes. The spring wire on the clips broke off.

What do the clips look like (even without the wire)?

I'm going to try a body shop supply place next trip in to the big city. There is also a parts place that may have something A or B body that works.
They look like this
and have to fit into this
Those should be common enough to find... auveco, clips and fasteners (who sells lots of auveco), etc...

Looks like it's coming along nicely
Checked dad's old stuff and none really match your needs, sorry. Worth a look though.....

Thanks. What has me a bit confused is that 1/2 the fasteners are these screws that the moulding just snaps over the head. Seems odd that a random set were the t-clips.

I'm guessing the t clips are oem and those are replacement clips installed sometime during the car's lifetime.

I don't know this but would speculate that those screws might be Macgyvered replacements for previously broken clips?

Great minds think alike

The screws have to be OEM since there are no 1/4" holes at those locations, just the small hole for the sheet metal screw. Possibly access to the underside of the locations dictated the locations the t-clips could be used. Still would make more sense to have them all the same. There are 7 of each style. When tightened down they are off the sheet metal so the trim clips on. Here's a better view.

Your previous pic showed a washer underneath which gave me the idea it wasn't an OEM item.

There is a clear, thin plastic washer on some, similar in thickness to 6mm poly. A few disintegrated when I pulled the trim off.

Worst case if you can't find replacements the washers likely wouldn't be hard to replicate.
Is a good thing that you will only live max 5min away from my place soon , that you can watch the progress closely.

You will be done by the time I move.
