Rear window trim clips wanted

Like the title says, I need some of the clips to hold the rear window trim on my '88 Bird. I've checked glass places and they're obsolete. I don't have a pic of a good one but these are about 1.25" long and 3/8" wide and mount on little studs on the body of the car, then the trim clips onto them. I need about 10. A former member was supposed to send me some years ago but they never came, and I didn't press it because trim was down on my list of priorities. Now it's back near the top. Any of you southern guys have a parts T-Bird lying around with these clips?

Body shop got a box of 'em when my car was painted - I'll look for them when I get home. One of the above is too square looking and I can't find the part on the other site (I know what they should look like from memory).

Ivygreen and Kitz Cat: Those are the windshield clips. I've got a bunch of those, it's the rear window clips I need.

I might have some from an '87 XR7 Cougar.  Buried in my Tbird room somewhere, though.

That should be the clips that hold the molding on. At least that's what I thought.

Kitz: It is the clip that holds the windshield moulding on. The rear window moulding clips are different. They're about 1.25-1.5" long and about 3/8" tall. If I still had a good one I'd take a pic.

Now, keep in mind this is a T-Bird. Cougars might use the same clips front and rear.

Here's what survived years of rusting from the parts bird. They're a little rusted still, but you can have them if you want. 6 are better then none.

TC, I'd still try Dorman.  I had to hunt down some shorter ones for the '83.  The ones I needed weren't as short as yours, but they were different from the fronts.

I emailed Dorman and got the part number and then got the parts from RockAuto
