On My Son's 68 GTS, I ordered a set of molding clips from Year one (RX37A). But they could not tell me where the four different clips are located on the car. Can anyone tell me there location is on the car? Thanks Ron
 
Ok I found a couple of posts that say there should be 5 larger clips and 18 regular ones. The 5 larger ones go along the bottom in the center 5 holes.

Maybe do a search for 68 GTS specific?

Many years ago, first 68 B'cuda notchback I robbed gaskets and trim from had the very short clips at every position around both front and rear ( although too rusty to reuse ). All I could find for assembly on my 67 were taller, more common, generic. I found that the taller would have worked good enough everywhere except the a-pillar post. A sizeable gap there could generate a wind noise/whistle. I wasn't satisfied with "close enough" at that rear window either.
After I finally did get my hands on a few new Chrysler correct short clips, that little bright idea light came on. I took the taller clips to the bench grinder and trimmed all of them to about the same height. Less than 1/8 removed, 3/32 maybe. End finish was very nice. Trim sat like a continuation of the body sheet metal line.
So... just hold the clips in various places. If it stands taller than the painted exposed body, its too tall.

Hey Ron, I just removed the trim on my 69 valiant (never off) and the 5 tall clips were located in the centre of the cowling. Hope this helps, Brent
