I am trying to get the vinyl top trim holes redialed on my SE because the body shop mistakenly filled them in. My question is are the holes in the same location for the SE top as the regular cars?

Thanks John

I don't see why not....did they weld them up or just bondo ? maybe you can see the originals from the inside ?

The S/E holes are different.

There are pictures showing the difference I've seen somewhere on the web. Probably here.

I think there might be a hole location post with pictures. Try google: Challenger vinyl top trim location
Also Try hitting "images" button and scroll down to see a comparison picture

They were welded closed. The welding wire can be felt from the inside. I printed out the pictures of the  locations from the reference section on this site. The car they used was not an SE. I want to take these pics to the shop so they can see where they are but just wanted to verify if SE and non SE are the same. The ones on the forward part of the sail panel cannot be felt from inside.

I would just lay the trim out comfortably on the car, measure it, and make sure its centered, then mark it and drill it  :alan2cents:
