: Repairing missing "T" Studs for window molding AQuik56 Apr 20th, 01, 02:25 AM Most body shops have a "stud gun"that can be used to weld new studs in place.If there is any paint or body filler present it will have to be ground off,the studs welded on and refinished.The glass has to be out of the car.If you can't find a stud gun,you canuse 1/8inch pop rivets.Hope this helps. ------------------ Real cars have three pedals !!! rick Apr 20th, 01, 04:03 PM Body shop suppliers also sell a screw in replacement stud. rick mccorry Apr 20th, 01, 05:29 PM The screw in replacments work very well.

Like on a '65 "A" body windshield posts. I personaly like them because the paint doesn't get scratched off when the clip gets pushed on. ------------------ Fan of anything that is interesting and moves human beings. 1965 Buick Gran Sport Convertible 1965 Buick Skylark H/T 1948 Chevy PU with 401 Buick | ||
