1968 barracuda trim mount washers?

[efar]

So the final pieces of the puzzle for my 1968 Barracuda is the rear trunk panel pieces. They should be coming back from Classic Trim Restoration next week so I'm looking at my mounting clips and notice some have a foam like washer I assume to help waterproof and prevent rattles. The lower clips have what look to be small leather? washers for the same purpose. What are you guys using here or is there a source for these washers?

I used string caulking, easy. This makes it waterproof.

I’d like to see how your trim look like after restoration.

Me Too! They didn't completely restore the trim, just straightened and polished it. I will have to paint and stripe it.

Well I have horrible news. UPS destroyed my trim in shipping. I believe they are now bent beyond repair. Bent back opposite of the factory bend with some cuts in the edges. I have a claim filed with UPS and am waiting to hear from them. The ding removal, staightening and polish work done by The trim restoration guy in Texas looks great but ... and I did not have any additional insurance on them. Anybody have a restorable set? So frustrated and pissed off.

Poor packaging. At least need piece of wood in there.

PCV tube is good if fits.

I would be contacting trim place for sure!

This is why some of us ship parts like these in PVC tubes.
