Bob, I've done all of my coupes with the stock length clips. I usually add a few more near the corners since that is where you typically run into issues.

Good luck.

Joe, Thank you for your reply. Did you use original or reproduction weatherstrips ? Also on the back side of the molding where it clips on how far in did you place the clips? Thanks again Bob

Bob, I get my rubber from Corvette Central. There should be small indicators on the body for where the clips go. If someone sanded them off check the AIM for positions. I add an extra at the roof curve and at the rear deck curve. Those area are always trouble.

Good luck.
