Does anyone @Burdar ?? have a vinyl top moulding hole pattern?  1973 if it matters

is it here in the reference section somewhere  :rubeyes:

As a backup, here are some photos of a 1970 Challenger. Sorry I don't have dimensions but you could get close with these photos. The smaller holes are for the SS strip that holds down the back of the vinyl top. It sits underneath the trim.

@6bblgt I don't suppose you are looing for the trim as well. I have an extra set.

Be aware that 73 used mostly "pins" welded to the body to hold on the trim.  The new reproduction clips are more flexible then the originals.  My trim was not held tight to the body using those.  I ended up having to drill holes right next to the "pins" and use the 1970 style bolt-on clips to install the trim.

before the original quarters were cut off, the body shop made a template of the original holes.  I'll have to see if I still have it.

There is an old post that also has some great pics and measurements. I would mock things up before drilling to make sure the trim sits right. I had to drill out a few holes. Mine didn't end up perfect which caused the ends to not sit where I wanted.
