I have an original set of the textured rear window trim for Barracudas. They are dent free.

$400 and buyer pays shipping.

Located in Ashland City, TN

1 Wild R/T

Cool, rare part at a very fair price IMO...

I agree.  Very hard to find. 
I've got two sets now and I paid 500 each set. 
These won't last long.

I should buy these only because I have a line on a car that calls for them and they're missing.....only problem is, the line is so thin and long I may NEVER get the car.... :crying: :crying: :crying: and be stuck with expensive window trim...

Grand Coupe's got them but more importantly 70-71 Cudas optioned with Rear window louvers got them, and that's what drives the price up. :headbang:

My AAR is a factory rear window louver car but it has stainless trim on it. I too was thinking that louvered cars got this trim and before removing the trim I ran across these and picked them up with plans to swap them. I realized later upon removing what was on car that they were put on at factory. Sad to say I didn't put them on because they are very nice pieces but don't feel like they should be there.

I've only seen them on Gran Coupes.

Is your car a vinyl top car. I thought these went on vinyl top cars with window louvers.

maybe some didn't get them from the factory like they were supposed to.
Its' bugging me that they are still for sale.  Seems like I need another set.  :help: :haha:

All Cuda's with rear window louvers should have got a vinyl top, yet that "rule" is not very clear. The book says that when ordering rear window louvers on a Cuda you must order a black vinyl top...But some experts say it's mean IF a vinyl top was ordered it had to be black...not that you had to order a top...confusing I know. :looney:

Just an educated guess. Rear glass is date coded correct so more than likely never replaced. No reason to remove trim aside from replacing glass. The sealant around glass was sloppy, thick, and hard. So thick that it was really tough to just remove the trim. Windshield was the same way.

I really can't say I'm 100% sure but pretty confident that it didn't come with the textured trim. Probably should have. I've tried to find a code for the textured trim but have come up empty handed. Build sheet has two codes related to the louvers. A67 Rear window louver package which I'm not sure what "package" consists of and J68 which is the louvers.

:notsure:
