Default Can't get my cracked windshield replaced 'cause they can't get the "clips."

Took my 2001 XJR to Safelite and they can't find the "clips" to replace the chrome molding. Anyone got some of these or know where to find them?

This was originally posted on another forum (2003 and later models) in error. I think the issue is that there are no clips, the chrome trim is glued in but I'm still not certain. I have a message in to the jaguarlandroverclassic web site to see if they know.

Following as a new windshield is on my list due to severe pitting.

Problem resolved. The folks at jaguar classic sent me this response:

"You are correct, there are no clips for X308 windscreens. There is just a seal and a bonding adhesive. The finishers have no fitting effect and simply sits within the rubber and are secured by a single joining clip."

Thanks all for your help
