Default Windscreen Trim lugs

Guys we removed the windscreen from the 1973 Hardtop.

The little metal lugs that the trim snaps onto, many have snapped off.
Can these be replaced or has anyone any ideas how we can make some?

We have a deadline of Next Saturday as a new windscreen wil be fitted then.


Help please!

Simply replace them with 1965 clips. The function is identical, but they are made to attach with screws. Don't forget the correct screws, too.

Thanks 2+2GT,

So if we order 13 65 trim clips that'll resolve the issue, I take it we screw them with self tappers into the frame where th elugs would have been?
