Window channel clips

does anyone know where I can find Window glass run (channel) retaining clips? I am replacing the glass in my 1953 Customline and I am missing 5 or 6 clips that hold the window channel in place. I can not seem to find a source for them.
 
Never could find the clips. But, Ii came up with a solution that worked very well. It won't be ok with purists, or show cars obviously, but it worked very well, and even better than the original clips. I took standard JB Weld puddy, and made a small ball (about 3/4"). Oblonged it, and formed it into the slot for the original clip. Pushed the new channel into it and shaped a new "clip" out of the puddy. It set in 15 minutes, and it holds the new channel in place strongly, and firmly. Better than the original clips. If years from now removal is needed, I quick tap with a screw driver will break it out. Worked very well, and not seen at all when the window dressing and trim is installed. I like it better than the clips. Just wanted to make mention in case someone had the same issue, and needed to secure their new window channel.
