C1 windshield moulding question
Is the piece that fits inside of the top header stainless moulding that connects to the windshield posts, the same for both non-sunvisor and sunvisor equipt upper mouldings on C1's 1956-1962? I just bought a moulding that has the holes for sunvisors, need to know if the inner piece from my non-sunvisor upper moulding will work with it or if I need to find one for a sunvisor equipt corvette.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg
I run a 61 and have just replaced my screen rubber and on mine the screw holes are only in the outer stainless moulding , they do not correspond with any on the inner section so it should fit OK , if you are not running with sunvisors you will need to make up a neat plate to cover the centre area . My stainless moulding is quite badly dented and I could do with a replacement , was yours new ? if so where did you get it .

I will be running with sunvisors, that is why I bought the moulding with the holes, so I could change the upper moulding on my 1960 to accommodate sunvisors. The moulding I bought was either a perfect original or restored piece because it is perfect! The moulding coming off is a non-sunvisor piece that is in good condition, but not perfect. It would need to be restored and polished to be show quality.
