Windshield clips for 280 sl R107
Can anyone tell me where I can find the 16 windshield clips for 1981 mercedes R107? They are attached by a 1/8"or so rivet. These hold the trim in place. Windshield guy took my glass out today and 4 or 5 of the clips are rusted or broken. Also looking for the 10 or so little phillips head screws that are 3 different sizes. 4 on top rail and 3 or 4 that screw in down the sides. I have searched the internet to no avail. Help!

The clip question is interesting - I've broken a few myself, and just worked around it, because the trim still held. This is a bad policy, because the trim DOES aid in holding the window in place in case something bad happens. I looked it up on the EPC, and they MIGHT be
A1079883578 And they looked pretty cheap. The parts site I usually use isn't working right now, but another one is, and they look to be about $0.40 each. The rivet is extra, and I have no idea how one would install a riveted item like that without some really serious disassembly. Screws and/or aluminum rivets aren't going to do the job. Oddly, the clips on the hardtop rear window are different!

windshield clips for 280, 380 SL
Rowdie and Strife:
I found the clips (18 required) and rivets at one of the mercedes dealerships in Charlotte, NC. Not cheap but I have to get them. $63.00 and some change. Had to take a couple of the old clips up there for them to match. Thanks for all the help you have provided to me on all my questions. Actually, I am beginning to enjoy working on this car. If it is okay, look for me to ask more questions and learn all I can from you guys. Have a wonderful week. Ron from S.C.

Looking closely at a blown-up picture in the EPC, these DO look like pop rivets, probably made of aluminum. Surprising, if true.

Strife:
You are correct, these are alum rivets.
