Does any one know if the plastic clips that hold the body side moldings onto the Roadmaster wagons are still available through GM? And, if not, has anyone had any success with a mail order company? Thanks, Mark.

Mark:
These clips are no longer availiable through GM Dealerships. Your best bet is to try and get some from a member or visit a local wrecking yard to get the clips you need off a wagon.

Your local scrap yard is the way to go. They are like gold particularly the plastic clips on the front spear/wood trim on the front fender. The two small one's over the rear wheel well (beltline trim) also break a lot.
Note that the door trim clips on the front doors are different for the 91-94 and 95-96 (I think that is correct). The early cars have holes and a male piece that goes into them. The newer one's have protruding rivets that the clips snap onto.
