I've searched and read a number of posts about the trim clips but none seem to be definitive.
So here's what I believe and I'm hoping someone can either confirm my thoughts or help with the proper application of these trim clips for a '66 Satellite.

I received 2 bags of trim clips from Vans, CHBCLP011 & CHBCPL006. However there are no part numbers on either of the bags.

Regarding CHBCLP006, I believe these are the windshield trim clips. There are both large and small clips. 9 Large and 14 small. After looking at the car, I believe the 9 large clips screw into the lower windshield channel at the cowl. However, there are 8 holes in the cowl and 9 clips. Was I sent one extra or is my assumption as to their application wrong? The 14 small clips I believe attach to the A pillar and the roof. Is this correct?

I also believe the CHBCLP011 clips are for the rear glass as there are the correct number of clips to the number of mounting holes on the car. Is this correct.

I apologize if these questions are elementary but the clips need to be installed before the glass is installed so I want to be 100% sure their installation is correct.

Thanks for the help.

I put a few clips in place front and rear and the trim seems to line up properly. Actually had one old clip still in place for the rear glass that I forgot to remove and the new clips are the same. There are a few screws broken off in the holes that I have to remove. Once I pop them out I will install all the clips and post photos.
Thanks for your help!
 
Clips are in place. As I believed the longer clips go along the cowl and the shorted ones are for the A pilar and across the roof. A couple things... new paint closed up the holes slightly making it harder for the screws to twist in, so I took a small drill bit and cleaned out the holes by hand. Also, there is a small amount of sealant on the tips of the screws also making hard harder to twist in the screws. But they do go in with some pressure to the screwdriver. Just make sure the screwdriver doesn’t slip and scratch the paint. This may all sound elementary but I wanted to mention it.
