window moulding clip pegs
« on: April 23, 2014 - 09:19:19 AM »
does anyone have pictures of the location for all of these pegs? Im afraid that a couple may be missing from my set up. How do you install new ones? How many should be there front and rear?

Don't have the locations handy, but the spots are symmetrical side-to-side, if that is any help.  You're probably going to want to use the screw-on type for  the missing clips.  Many NAPA (or other) auto parts places sell the clips.  Just bring the the peg type with you so you get the same relative size.  If you only need a few, I probably have enough of the screw-on type I can give you.

The H & S hotspot Stud welder gun is the ideal choice to weld the stud rivets.
Look over their web page and see their stuff. It's great tool to have.

You'll need to order accessories: 1003, 1005, and 1045.
1045 will need to be modified in size so you can get the rivet set perfect into the edge.

There are 12 rivet studs for the front. and here's a picture of the back.

No.

I was fortunate.
My friend let me borrow his. I loved it.
Almost didn't want to bring it back to him.  :lol:

I wanted to show how it's actually done.
If you go the screw in type, put a little silicone around the screw where it goes in after the clips are put on.

I'm taking a guess on when I welded mine on.

14 or 16.

One every 6-8 inches. None on or near the curves.

Thanks.

Does anyone have any pictures of the front? I imagine if 12 is the number that it is 6 across the top and 3 on each side, right?

Sounds right. The two center top ones are only like 6 inches apart to keep the molding connection tight and straight.

old posts that might help:

On Cuda it is 12. I counted mine.
I'll try and take a picture this week-end if you still need.

I think that i should be good with the info that you guys have given. Im pretty sure that the cuda and challenger should have the same amount of pegs. The windshield areas are just about the same right?

The windshields and front moldings are exactly the same for the Cudas and Challengers.  What's not to figure out with the bottom molding?
Here's the only picture I have:
