62 Dart trim fitment

[540 XRAM]

Hi everyone I am just finishing up my 62 Dart restoration and I am having some trim issues.

My Fender and door trim don't align. The clips I had were all the same but the holes in the car are in different locations. The fender holes are on the high side of the trim and the door holes are on the low side of the trim. The clips I have have an offset in the mounting prongs so I installed them with the offset up on the fenders and offset down on the door to get them as close to aligning as possible but the are still off. I don't know what else to do.... Is there a new trim clip set available from somewhere with the correct clips or does someone have pictures of the right ones?




Next is the front fender wrap around pieces. I have no clue what clips I need for the 2 holes in the front of the fender.




I really appreciate everyone's time and input! My car is almost done but I need to get this figured out!

Thank you!

I also need rocker molding clips...

Looks like you might have them miss matched, switched from the other side.
They should not be that far apart. The fender one is not correct, it should taper the other direction so as to not hit the one on the door.

Member Lee Robertson has been disassembling one and and selling off the parts, he might know. I can't help you because mine is a Polara 500. I'll check my front piece but there is so much undercoating I might not be able to see the fasteners. Send Lee a pm.

The trim attachments for the front fender piece slip into the molding and are the squeeze
type with opposing tangs. You might try RT Specialties for those clips. They are probably
unique to that trim. Originals are rusty and often break when removed. I have sold those
pieces from my parts car.

Maybe this will help.

And I'm thinking along the lines of FU64RY with the door trim. Flip the clips and swap sides. Worth a try.
