1.  Side Rail Weatherstrip retainer.
This is the stainless trim that hold the long piece of rubber weatherstrip in the door opening area.  Passenger side

2.  Sail Panel Clips/Metal Rings for Lights
There is a square shaped piece of metal and some rings that insert into the sail panel to hold the lights.

I ran into a similar problem with the sail panels on my '69 Mach.  My sail panels were long gone, but both retaining clips were still installed in the appropriate holes in the sail panel area.  I searched high and low trying to find a set of sail panels that still had the original metal retaining rings, but came up empty.  I finally ended up going with NPD's "better" repro.  Those sail panels are thicker, and have the metal retaining rings for the lights already installed.
Too much junk, too little time.

i looked at the catalog and it does mention the metal rings are installed.  i've lost one of those square metal metal pieces after 18 years.

thanks for the response.
