Pics of rocker trim clips

mlaird · Aug 4, 2010

does anyone have pics of the original rocker trim clips? i need to find some clips so i can put the original trim back on and am having no luck at all

Sorry I can't help w/ any pictures of the original rocker trim clips. I've been searching for a set of rocker trim for my '72, but haven't had much luck....

Have you tried looking at the rocker trim clips for a 1973-1979 Ford F-Series? The style/width of the rocker trim on those trucks looks identical to the Bronco rocker trim. Both Auto Krafters and NPD (I'm sure there are others) make reproductions of the clips for the 73-79 F-series; they may work on the Bronco as well.

Hopefully someone has pics of some Bronco-specific clips. Good luck with your search.

Here is a few pic's the plastic clips are curved and are held on with a rivet

Where did you find these and what are the plastic looking straight (toothpick sized) pieces that are on the clips for?

Thats the rivets that hold the white plastic clips on

the tooth pic looking tabs are to keep the bolt on clip from turning while you tighten the nut on the other side. There is a close replacement for the plastic clips, I have some on my 72, it is not a ford part though it is for a Chrysler product. I will try and dig it up.

thanks

thanks so much behemoth. i already bought 10 of them. do they just screw in or are there any kinds of tricks to mounting them

behemoth · Aug 6, 2010

i just used a small screw into the old rivet hole. Some originals on my truck we actually screwed on as well, probably a earlier repair.

Any luck with these parts ? I have them on mine now and appear to be working just fine. Just checking in to see what success or otherwise that others have had.

mlaird · Sep 12, 2010

mine work great and i forwarded this thread to another person with the same problem and his are working too. i will say that the trim is a little loose, but it hasnt fallen off.

behemoth · Sep 12, 2010

The front and rear clips have the nuts on them and mine was loose as well until I tightened them up. I also purchased new ones of those to eliminate the chance of it falling off. Good to hear they are working for us.
