Technical 1952-54 ford door clips-NEED HELP

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by voodookustoms, Jan 14, 2018.

  1. I’m not sure how these clips are supposed to be installed properly. Each one seems to be bent or tweaked slightly differently and some fit snugly in the holes, others wiggle around loosely and others will not go in at all. It almost looks like they are supposed to be crimped in place somehow. [​IMG][​IMG]

  3. I think I remember those. Post up a photo of the back side of the clip.

    The rear one looks about correct. The front one is bent up really bad on the bottom.

  5. I fought with those original style clips for several days and decided there had to be something better,and there is.

    I used universal clips and they are available in several different sizes,I got mine at the local auto body supply shop and they worked on all the trim on our '54 Ford. HRP
