Window Molding Studs missing - 70 GS

    So, I knew I had one stud at the top of my back window broken (red circle) that my body shop forgot to fix before they painted it, but I didn't realize I would have none on the sides of my rear window (large red circle). I guess the new quarters installed don't come with those studs. I should have realized that when I had to drill the holes for the quarter window felts.

    Either way, how many molding studs are down each side of the rear window for 70 GS? Is it two or three? And does it matter of the location? I don't do body work, but I've seen another post that say these screws would replace the studs.

    Now, It looks like it should be easy, but any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey @Smartin I tagged you because I watched your videos (great by the way - allowed me to try and polish some of my stainless) and remembered you did one on removing the trim (mine was already off when I got the car), so I was hoping you may know and could take a picture. Plus, I'll be waiting for a video on how to install the trim. Never done any of this before, my first restoration.

    Thanks,
    Nick

    No worries. Thank you. Looks like only two per side. One less hole to drill LOL. And I think close enough to those locations are good.

    Thanks again,
    Nick

    @Smartin Thanks again! Installed them yesterday on both sides along with two others.
