I could be wrong but those clips look nothing like these which are the proper clips for the upper and lower trunk panel trim for a 68 Barracuda
Also, the top clips are different than the bottom clips.

Curiously although it states 68-69 Barracuda the category says B body?

I can tell you that they ARE 69/identical from some I got from a member a while back.
This is where we help others not purchase the wrong products.

Sorry. No.
The 69 clips are designed to slip inside the finish panel and use the nylock nut you show in your pic of an original. Also, the stud on the aftermarket clip is too long. It will hit the lower trunk lip when the trunk lid is closed. The speed nut is also not correct and will only work if it fits inside the confines of the space allotted in the trunk lid l.If you look at the pic you posted you will see how much shorter the threaded stud is. When tightened down, it only comes to the very edge of the nylock nut.
Possible the pic from the supplier is a generic one though and you actually received the correct one. Do you have a pic of it?
This aftermarket clip might be able to be modified to work but not in its present configuration.

Understand and thanks for posting these as I think they are identical to the 69 Satellite trunk finish panel hardware.OK, as I stated I have some originals and a package on its way, I will post comparison pics/If all I have to do is to trim the stud/thats easy...
I agree with "A56" post/just helping out
Here's a pic of 69 Dart finish panel hardware sold by Year One that looks much closer, besides not using the proper nylock Speed nuts. Note the felt lined contact surface designed to move easily along the aluminum contact surface of the trunk finish panel.

Outside the box, if you still have old clips with broken studs, ya' might be able to repair them. Under the heads of the mine, I found a square hole. Small carriage bolts seem to fit fine. I had no way to peen them, so I just glued them in.
