Looking for a source of trim clips . . . 120-130

Where can I buy the trim fastener clips that hold the chrome strips right below the windows on each side of a late Amazon?

    Swedish Treasures is a good source. some members with used stashes might have a few, and there's always Veteran Produktor.

    Sedan or Wagon? the trim is different.

      Hello,

      The clips are different whether you have a 2 door(coupe) or a 4 door(wagon or sedan).

      And the 2 door coupes have early and late clips.

          Hello,

          Just to be sure, the trim clips are for the thin strips that are directly under the roll down window and the rear pop out windows?

          If yes, then you have 2 options.

          The original clips were spring metal retained by pop rivets.

          The metal clips were updated to plastic clips that do not use pop rivets.

          For some reason, Volvo only sells the metal ones, but I have both the plastic and metal clips in stock.

          If interested, email me at:

            Hello,

            It turns out the Volvo 122 B18 and Volvo 122 B20 parts catalogs are not 100% clear about the usage of the plastic clips to retain the narrow trim moldings on the door and under the 1/4 window on 2 door Volvo 122 (P130).

            Even though the Volvo 122 B18 catalog suggests that the plastic clip can replace the metal clip, it is physically impossible as the plastic is too large to fit the original narrow side trim moldings.

            What appears to have happened is Volvo changed the shape of the narrow side trim moldings for the P130 starting in 1969 and Volvo did not change the part numbers.

            We have a 1969 in our shop for a partial restoration and I compared the moldings and they are definitely shaped differently.

            The trim from the 1969 still has some of the plastic clips attached.

            So 1962-1968 P130 need the metal clips if they have their original trim moldings and 1969-1970 need the plastic clips.
