Didn't realize these were so hard to find!

Does anybody have pics of the fasteners they could share?  That may help in finding the needed clips, or something that may work.

I did get the clips for the long piece of trim that runs under the back window.  Thanks Loren!

What I need are the clips that hold the two short pieces on the C pillar.

Thanks  for the help.

I have been looking for a good replacement for those for years. I’ve ordered clips that look like they would work, but still looking. Brian over on v8Buick had some for sale at one time. I don’t know if he has them yet.

Frank - Is this what you are looking for? I have a convertible parts car and there are four of these on each side.

Here are some pictures, the original clips are rusty in both pictures the replacement ones for the sail panel trim are one longer made! I might have enough left for one of my cars!The butterfly clips for the under the rear window piece might still be made by Dorman? They used two different styles for this trim one with fine tread as pictured and a rough tread like a body bolt!

Some of the new modern high tech adhesives are so good some shops just uses those now to affix trim pieces. Might be an option for some.

Thanks for the pics and help guys. 

I may look into the adhesive route, that's pretty much how they do all the new cars.
