1954 inner windshield trim
 
I'm looking for the clips that clip to the back side of the inner windshield trim for a 54-55 first series.

Any body have any ideas on where to get them?

No idea where to find replacements but what they are actually are spacers to leave a gap between that moulding and the windshield for defrost air. Just mentioning this in case you can't find any and want to try to "engineer" some sort of replacements.

Tough to find, The clips are actually spacers that allow defroster to reach window. When i was scouring yards i noticed the interior trim and clips were always absent. Was considering using angled blocks but found my originals squirrelled away from decades ago. Almost tossed them till i realized what they were.

Vintovka, thanks.

Luckily I have 2, so I think I'll take the advice of others and just make them. They won't be spring steel, but they will hold it up.
