My drawing (GIF) was stripped. I'll try a jpeg.

Hi, or rather 'Help',
For the past year or so I've been trying to track down some trim clips for my
1968 Rapier (Alpine GT in the US).
My front windscreen is glued in. 'Direct glazed' the manual says, and these
clips hold in the stainless steel surround hiding the gap between the window
and the body.
I say my front windscreen is glued in, well it should have been; when it
rained I had to open the door to let the water out! This is when the trouble
started...........
Back to the story:
I've tried everywhere. Autojumbles, Rootes spares companies, trim companies,
spring companies, even tried to have them remanufactured, but I was quoted
about a dollar each, minimum quantity 1000 pieces. (I only need about 2
dozen)
I could use a normal rubber moulding but I'd like to keep things original.
You guys are my last hope. There are two types, original which fitted on
little pegs or repair items which were used with a self tapping screw. Either
one, old stock or used, anything will do.
See attached drawings.
