After Linda proposed pin repair to the "D", I thought, why not the stainless trim clips.
Grabbed a few 8/32 pan head screws from the junk drawer and went after it.
Ground the nub flush and drilled the center. Cut the screw to length, double nut in the "jig" weld it grind it almost flush, leave a slight dome. sand blast, paint
New nuts and washers,
Install!
Spent about two hours making the first one, another hour making 3.
dont throw out those broken clips!
Thanks Linda!

Lookin' Good Dave!

Beyond my skill set, I don't weld....yet!
Good job!

Linda

I ordered new clips and they where a bit to big for my smaller strips.
Anyway i just scraped of some metal with a metalfile.
Put all clips in place, when all side strips where on the car, the one on the door was a bit higher than the others.

I removed the doorstrip, turned all the clips a 1/4 and filed off again, now this way: the bolt is out of the middle and higher to the top. I did all 5. put them back in place and the strip is now on the correct hight with the others.
