Re: [T3] installation of moldings on 70SB

It may be too late for you, but those plastic clips are best removed
by gripping their sides with pliers and pulling straight out.  If
you are lucky, the prongs won't break off.  Then you can push out
the plastic peg and refit them without any difficulty.  The ones at
each end you can push the peg out first, but if you do that with the
centre ones, you lose the peg.  Might be able to get some plastic
rod the right size to replace the ones you lose, though.
I usually manage to re-use these clips.  I think the moulding is the
same from about Aug '67, so even if you have earlier clips, it
should be possible to use later ones.  My son's '70 Fastback seems
to have the metal clips.

Maybe a local scrapyard has a Type 3 with some salvageable clips.
