The clips on the windshield chrome are sold by Chevy Duty but are smaller
than the original but they will work I have a set of two original and two
from Chevy Duty I also have a full set of chrome, a couple of ding on one of
the straight pieces, I could not get anybody to come to my garage to install
the windshield with the chrome in it, so I gave up on the Idea of chrome and
went without, ping me off list if some one is interested in the set real
cheap?
