Windshield Clip "Pins"

xhp734 said:

On my '65 Skylark, I had to remove the front windshield and repair the bottom-side of the frame that held it. This side was completely rusted away and had to be cut out.

When I removed the windshield, there were clips around it that attached to some kind of pins in the frame. They looked like nail-heads. I found a replacement to the lower-edge of the frame and am almost ready to install it, but I don't know where to look for those pins and how to install them.

Can anybody tell me about these "pins" and how to replace them?

pop rivets work just fine to retain the clips. just be sure of their position, that how we did it in body shops years ago....ruggs

Pop rivits will work, or if you have access to an autobody stud welder, there are replacement pins
