I dont remember any removable clips on my 65. there is a clip spot welded on the bucket hooks to a hole in the retainer ring ,then a spring hooks to the other side of the retainer ring. they are prone to snap off & might be what has happened. if that is the case you'll need another bucket or fab up something. each bucket is different too.

'Head light retainer clips' is a little puzzling to me. Was wondering if this is referring to headlamp door (bucket) retainer clip on the fender :?:

Aloha guys,

The mustang is different. I think it is the clip on the bucket that hooks to the retainer ring and the other side is either held in by a screw or a spring. I will try to take a picture. Thanks for the input. Ed
