    just looks to me like theres a ton of posts for clips along the bottom..do i use them all? accross the top it's about a 6" span or so in between clips yet the bottom are like 1.5"? apart. so the thing there is do i use all of them..?

    and with the funny looking metal standoff things, how do i put those back on? i took pics of them while they were still on the car to try and get them back in place..but i cant figure it out and i want to get someone...or me to install the windows here soon..i'll only attempt this is youTUBE makes it look dead simple.

    My stands are still in place, I can look closer at them if nobody else chimes in. I didn't want to take them off.

    Personally I think you'd be fine with fewer clips. When I took my lower molding off the clips seemed like overkill. Fewer clips would make the molding easier to install and should hold the molding just fine imo.

    Here's a pic. Still dirty and full of grey dum dum. Looks like they slide and lock in on the tabs from the side but it's hard to tell at this point.

    They just lay on the cowl. The stand has cut outs to go around the nails.

    just a heads up for u , a windshield guy told me that the old window sealer has asbestos in it and causes cancer so you want to wear gloves when dealing with that stuff

    I noticed last night I have 2 of these on 1 side, and 1 on the other. Not sure if it came that way or if one stuck to the windshield gasket and I threw it away???

    I only had 2 of them...one on each side. I think I read that some people had 4 on their car

    Thanks for that, im trying to locate someone to do my windows and the chevelle at the same time for a package deal..i have 4 of the stand-offs..2 from this car and 2 from a mav..should i put 4 orwould it even matter? thinking about it i only see it needing 2 due to the fact windows shouldn't flex lol.
