Classic/Antique Car Repair: Body rubber retainers, hemmings motor news, oldsmobile parts


Question
I have a 70 olds, and am looking for the small T plastic clips that attach the rear compartment rubber seal to the rear bumper, there are several of these little larger than the retainers/holders on the door seals, and these attach the rubber mat into the bumper. I have a body manual for this car, but cannot find the actual terminology, and have several of these broken, or missing due to age, thanks.

The best advice that I can give you is to dive into a copy of Hemmings Motor News, the largest classified magazine devoted to the old car hobby. There at least a half a dozen companies that will send you their catalogue dealing with just Oldsmobile parts, new used, and reproductions. When I restored my 1969 442 I us lot of the rubber parts from  Steele Rubber Products including what they called weatherstrip retainers. You can go to Steele on line at www.steelerubber.com/hm. You could also check www.yearone.com.
