The ones for the CS snap into rectangular holes in the body, and then a "pin" on the back of the trim snaps into the small rectangular hole in the clip.

 The "pin" on the back of the trim.

The holes that clips snap into.

I've been looking also Brian, with no luck, so far.

It seems that '64 Bonnys, although they have simular, but longer, lower trim, don't use the same clips. This guy sounds sounds a bit arrogant, but here they are:

I spent 1/2 hour looking through the PDF catalog online,  they have a lot of stuff , But I did not find an exact match?   

 

I would be worth while to contact them and email some pics with dimensions,  there is a good chance they will be able to match them up. 

I do not have any clips handy.....

Excellent pics of more clips and chrome, Jmont64! As Pontiacanada's pics demonstrate, some of the "pins" in the moulding are fixed while others in jmont64's pics slide along inside the moulding. I did the same thing you did, rabbit64cs. I went through the entire PDF file of restorationspecialties but could not find the clips. Excellent suggestion. I took a picture of four clips that I have and will contact restoration industries.com and send along the pictures and dimensions. I am still optimistic that we are going to find them somewhere. Thank you guys for your perseverance!

Has anyone found these clips yet?

Excellent research, Pontiacanada! Indeed, these are the mysterious clips. I have not had any such luck locating these clips, but I have not given up.

Thanks Carl. They can be made to work, (holes in the car body/doors would have to be lengthened/widened) but sadly they are not the same animal.

The smaller of my clips measured out to approximately 1 1/4" L x 1/2" H x 1/2 W.

The width will remain constant, but the length and height might vary slightly due to bending.

Great discovery, Carl. You have an excellent memory. I do agree with Pontiacanada. These clips are a little different but definitely could be made to work on the '64 CS rocker mouldings. They are the closest to the original that I have seen. Thanks for sharing!

And more of an update.

It was a nice day here today, and I've been paid for the rocker moldings on the 66 Grand Prix parts car I got recently, on the understanding that I'd pull them off when conditions are good. I decided to get started.

Guess what holds the 66 Grand Prix lower trim on (along with a few countersunk screws)...

No, it must be a trick I pulled with the camera! They all look identical in real life.

I know a yard with 2 of these cars, but they are sunk in the dirt pretty good. Not sure I can still get the mouldings off.

Well, I'll be damned, Carl!  I do believe that the clips from your '66 Grand Prix are identical.  And, yes, Darryl, the '65 Bonneville has the wide rocker mouldings too.  We usually spend 6 weeks in the Apache Junction/Phoenix area over the winter.  I plan to scour even more wrecking yards and will keep a special alert for a '65 and '66 Grand Prix.  You can be guaranteed that I will let you know if I find some.  Thanks ever so much for the up-date.
