Title: 39 headlight lens retaining clip
Post by: lou-q on June 05, 2013, 10:02:27 PM
Does anyone know where I can get two of these clips?  Maybe someone has some laying around?

Thanks,
Lou Quirch

"Bobs Automobilia" also sells them Lou, their part number is HC-369.   $12 for 6
Some years ago when I needed them here in the UK I was surprised by how expensive they were for such a small item,   $2 each doesn't sound much but I had 3 cars that needed 8 each and I wanted some spares,  that mounts up, then I realized the clips were very similar to a type used in English glass green houses to hold the sheets of glass in. They are not exactly the same but do the job admirably and for $5 I got a bag of 100 clips so you can double up on them.
Check out this eBay number  140989201968

From looking in the parts book our car uses two per light so I ordered them from Bob's Autothemmobilia along with a couple of headlight bulbs etc.
Their prices seem fair on the bulbs.
Caddy reproductions didn't have the clips.s
Thanks,
