<VV> LM Convertible Question

[Marc Sheridan]

Bob,
In the last order I got from Clarks, there was a flier in the envelope 
announcing that they now have reproduction replacements. They are a bit 
pricey, but as you have found out, used ones are almost impossible to 
find. Also, be aware that there are two different sizes of clips used. I 
didn't realize that until I saw the Clarks ad. When I took mine off, I 
threw all the clips in a bag assuming they were all the same and I have 
no idea which clips go where.

Try ordering C11670 instead of C3690. It comes up on their web site as a 
full set of both size clips, including instructions, for $36. I'm 
assuming they are available, since they come up on their web site with a 
price. You would think, that when you entered "C3690", it would direct 
you to the reproduction parts, but it doesn't.

Have any on you actually ordered the repro clips and gotten them?
