Re: 54 Convertible Chrome Clips
Funny, but the number you quoted, 358397-S8 is also shown in my parts book in the tables for the convertible, but the photo of the part in the front of the book shows 358397-S. In either case, the part seems to be unavailable, regardless which PN you use. I may have to use a universal molding clip and drill new holes. At least it's all covered by the molding...

Re: 54 Convertible Chrome Clips
Your second photo, if showing the section to the side of the molding just behind the rear window, has newer looking hardware. Did you install this or was that there. Here are the photos of my car. I think they are about the same.

If there is a large auto paint/body supply in your area, they should be able to give you a reasonable match (universal).

Re: 54 Convertible Chrome Clips
Were the same clips used to install the chrome strip on the two door coupes? You might be able to find them in a salvage yard. Not too many convertibles in salvage yards these days.

Re: 54 Convertible Chrome Clips
Per the parts manual, convertibles were the only one to use this clip. Universal is probably the way to go. luckily, I have some time to make the decision...
