molding clips for tailgate upper chrome trim
Decided to pull the chrome / stainless steel trim around the back of the tailgate, upon reinstallation, most of the clips are not holding on, any ideas are welcome. I may need new clips as the little claws seems to be unwilling to bend backward without breaking.
Why did I do this... to remove some rust between the roof and the trim.
Thank you

Not all of their items are in the catalog... I forgot these were not. I provided them a sample to match-up to. You would need to call if you decide to purchase from them. I made a visit to these folks... It's a huge well-organized never-ending warehouse of restoration parts. If you have any other hard-to-find parts... You can send them a sample and they will try to match it. Crist

In this catalog
www.restorationspecialties.com
When the search did not return any items for the number I scroll thru it. If you look around page 30-32 or 128-130, you should be able to locate the item.

W is the black tar-like sealant that Jeep used along with these clips? When I pulled my trim, it was one heck of a mess. It had some sort of "tar tape" on it. Any ideas?
I also tried re-using my old clips. Not a good idea. They failed to grab again after removal.
