I have an extra set of window trim (front and back) sitting in the attic. They're perfect just need polishing. Stripped em off a "junk" challenger back in 84 along with other googies. Their mine and won't sell them though.
Go shopping on ebay bro. good luck.

Yeah we don't like to give these bits away do we?
I took some of the better bits of window trim from a 1971 model back in the early 90s and have needed to use two of the bits since. Once from accident damage and once from me making a mess when fitting a new vinyl top!

Exactly Dave. I need a couple pieces to replace the originals that have dings in them. Just waiting for the next restore to do it.

Here's aplace you might try Jeff.
www.bradsnosparts.com or
www.tonysparts.com (be careful with Tony, I dealt with him, he's got the selection but he charges top dollar, he also has used parts, I got what I paid for, which cost a left NAD to procure,lol)

If you are talking about the stainless moldings that go at the bottom rear of the vinyl roof, I just bought the set (rears and the 2 small front ones) from Tonys Parts. He charged me 165.00 for the rears and 40.00 for the fronts. He is a little high, but where else can you get them? Some guys have them, but dont want to part with them. Good Luck !

I dont quite understand Jeff. Do you need your existing trim repaired? if you do this guy is one of the best. He did all my stainless trim. it wasnt cheap, but it looks flawless.
