    Thanks for the pictures. No such parts on mine. Do I need them? Trim showed no tendency to fall off without them.

    I think it holds the weight of the glass in position...taken the strain off the weatherstripping. :huh:

    That makes sense. The glass did have a tendency to roll forward at the bottom. Guess I should have some on hand. If the trim ever has to come off I'd install them.

    Maybe they were discarded when someone changed the windshield.

    my thinking is...it holds the seal off the pinch weld, that keeps it from cutting the seal between the glass and the frame from the weight of the glass...:huh:

    Gene, our Comets are race version Mavericks, less weight for speed.

    Just be careful, the aftermarket (auevco) one's are junk, they are too thin, and collapse when you try and install the trim.
    If you look in the service manual, they actually show different sized clips in the corners, they are green.
