Convertible windshield header molding
If you are looking for a windshield header molding for a 69-75 convertible, I have one. The vinyl is good, with no cracks or rips. The back side is a little rough, but should not affect the fit. $25, plus shipping.

Maybe you could add clarity to your needs....as it is somewhat murky? May have what you need if it's windshield stainless. Contact me at restomike@***.net.

You know what they say about opinions but I won't go there.
The thing is that those 1969-1975 convertible top upper windshield moldings rarely pop up here or on eBay. I have never seen one for sale in the twenty years I've been going to local swap meets and that includes local NCRS Corvette events. I took mine to a plater and had them take out the dings and scratches and had it polished to show condition. That was five years ago and it still looks great.

The price for the corners alone in repro are over $100, and they are a bit incorrect.
Center W/S convertible trim does not come available very often in decent shape. This piece gets beat on every single time a hardtop or soft top latches down.
I've been selling parts since the 70's, and I'll say that just because it's been re-listed doesn't mean a thing. I have plenty of great parts that would have sold in a heartbeat 2 years ago. People are very cautious about buying right this second.
As you say, it's only opinion. Do as you like.
