Hi Guys, I am missing some parts on my 66 Ghia, namely the lower 1/4 window chrome strips (like on the blue car).

I have 2 replacements now but am unsure how they affix onto the car body?

My car is just rusty along that edge with no clips or raised areas?

I notice other cars have small holes, were there specific screws that went in?

Thanks for any help!

There are specific style screws that go there. They are slotted and bevel headed and the head fits into the groove on the back side of the chrome. You have to screw the screws in far enough to the chrome fits tight, but not so tight you can’t slide the chrome on. You basically put the trim over the screw heads where the wide area is and then slide it toward the back using a plastic mallet.

KGPR lists this screw as being for the 1/4 trim
