Hi,

From what I've seen is all 65 GS have the "vinyl top trim" even if they are a single color.

Also I have seen 65 Specials have the trim when ordered with 2 colors or vinyl top.  There is one on Ebay right now a real lower and white top.

Regards,

The clips are very specific and I haven’t found any for the side pieces. I have found a clip for the back piece that fits the trim and has the threaded stud. I’ll look it up and add it to this post.

 Here s a link to the clips I found that fit the rear piece.
