Overview
A clip set for the narrow bottom style side body moldings used across 1978, 1979, and 1980 Monte Carlo models.
Key Features
- Correct fit for the narrow bottom style side body moldings
- Covers 1978, 1979, and 1980 Monte Carlo models
- Clips only — moldings are not included and are shown for placement reference only
Benefits
Using the correctly matched clip style (narrow bottom versus wide bottom, which we also carry) ensures a secure, rattle-free fit for your specific molding style rather than forcing an incompatible clip into place.
Vehicle Compatibility
Fits 1978, 1979, and 1980 Monte Carlo models with the narrow bottom style side body moldings. Please verify your molding style before purchasing, as we also carry a wide bottom clip set for 1979-1980 models.
Common Signs This Part Needs Replacement
- Side body moldings are loose, rattling, or falling off
- Missing or broken clips discovered during a restoration teardown
- Reinstalling original or refurbished narrow bottom moldings
Installation Notes
Moldings are NOT included — this is a clip set only, with the moldings pictured to show correct clip placement. Install each clip at its corresponding factory location along the molding run.

FAQs
How is this different from the wide bottom clip set? This set matches the narrow bottom molding style; we also carry a wide bottom clip set for 1979-1980 models — verify which style your car uses before ordering.
Does this include the moldings themselves? No — moldings are NOT included. They’re shown in photos only to demonstrate correct clip placement.
Can I install these myself? Yes, each clip installs at its corresponding factory location with basic hand tools.
What symptoms indicate I need new clips? Loose, rattling, or falling-off side body moldings are the main sign.
Will this fit a 1978 Monte Carlo “Deluxe” trim? Verify with us — the Deluxe trim uses a separate, specific 20-piece clip set.
How do I know if my moldings are narrow or wide bottom style? Compare your current molding profile against reference photos, or contact us for help confirming.
