Title: Vinyl top trim
Post by: fireguyfire on September 29, 2019, 06:35:51 AM
At some point in time the factory vinyl top was removed from my car after it was repainted; I'm in the process of putting her back to factory spec and I am missing the trim piece that goes around the very bottom of the vinyl top, below the rear window from C pillar to C pillar.
Found this set on eBay but the guy isn't 100% sure that it is the lower vinyl top trim piece. Can anyone help me out by eyeballing the picture; is this the correct trim I need for my 73?

Hard to say, make sure it isn't for an SE.

Looks like it. You can buy new for around the same price. Try  Dave at Roseville Moparts

...yes it is vinyl top trim but make sure its not for Cuda as it is different than Challenger.

If you are stuck getting a set, let me know as I have both.
No border to deal with from Ontario to Alberta :unitedstates: :canada:
No matter where you get them, shipping will cost,  as they are awkward to package

Does anybody have a picture as to how these little A-Pillar Trim Pieces mount.

There will be screw holes in the lower a pillars to guide you. If you need me to, I'll be glad to shoot some pictures in reply. Let me know.

I'll check tomorrow to see if holes are there. Car had been repainted without vinyl top. Discovered vinyl top trim holes during body prep. Pretty sure I have it figured out but will let you know if I need a picture. Thanks
