    C6DZ-6210182-A - metal retainers on each end, 4 for the car.
    D0DZ-6210182-A - plastic clips on the rocker, 16 for the car.

    needless to say that they're impossible to find, i have been looking on and off for quite some time now...

    The part number for the metal end pieces translate to 1966 Falcon, likely place that they were first used. That may help in your search.

    They are similar to what was used on a 1971 Torino Brougham, too, but may be a different size.

    Au-Ve-Co may have repops that will work. They have tons of specialty trim fasteners and have been selling to body shops for decades. Mustang parts houses frequently will have their stuff, or at least, access to it.

    Tody, I know I sent you some off of that one car, but I am forgetting details here ... what are you still looking for? I'll keep them in mind in case I stumble across some again.

    Way back when, my 71 Comet (white car below) came with the rocker trim and the chrome that ran along the upper fender ridge. I got rid of the upper chrome. Needed a sleepy-looking car at the time... the local sheriffs were far too familiar with my shiny Torino. :evilsmile

    I have a 76 Comet 4dr that I am parting out that has the rocker molding on it. I will try to get it off without destroying the clips (very hard to do). If I can get the clips off I will put them up for sale.

    FYI the later ('76) plastic clips are different than the early ones...the early ones were recessed into circular depressions in the rocker, later were flush mounted with studs to hold the clips on....
