I'm putting my 65 Coronet back together and came across these clips that aren't identified. Can anyone tell me where they go?

Trim clips for inside top windshield trim, possibly.
 
Send the picture to "Roberts Motor Parts! Will try and get down to the shed, and look through some catalogs form when I redid a 39 P8 Business Coupe

Thanks, that is what I was thinking but I have the interior upper windshield clips that have a screw hole in them. These have no hole for a screw. I was wondering if I had picked up clips that went to another car on one of my many trips to the wrecking yard and got them mixed in.
 
Put 1965 Coronet in the title, then the right people will look at this.
 
They go just inside the top front windshield. The top inside window trim screws into them. There are 4 of them. They are made of hardened steel and have two pinch tabs that go onto a hole along the top inside front roof.
There is no no screw for attaching them to the body, just those tiny tabs. When they are removed the tabs get bent outward. Originally they were inserted into the hole and the tabs spread apart. But they are usually a one time use because of the hardened steel. It's hard to get the tabs spread apart correctly. I reinstalled mine the best I could and added some JB Weld to insure they would stay. I've heard of people using Riv-nuts, screws, etc. I have thousand of pictures from my Altered Wheel base build but they are not organized. This is the best picture I could find
