Default C2 windshield molding differences?

Trying to sort out some moldings here. Can anyone chime in with additional differences or correct me?

63 coupe inner all painted. Are the 64-67 inner moldings the same only unpainted?

Are convertible and coupe inner header the same?

63 coupe and conv outer lower the same, one year only

64-67 coupe outer all the same. Any difference in convertibles?

Inner coupe moldings are painted interior color. Convertible and coupe inner moldings are diffreat. Convertible are flashed chromed S/S.

I think 63-67 outer convertible moldings are the same

64-67 coupe are all the same

What is the difference between coupe or convertible for inner header molding?

And what is difference on 63 only coupe interior from 64-67?

The convertible molding wraps around the windshield frame where a coupe doesn't plus a convertible is flashed chrome S/S. Where as a coupe is painted steal.

I never looked at a 63 coupe inner molding to compaire to 64-67.

Do you have a pic of the interior header to show difference? I have a couple painted and couple chrome and they look identical besides the paint?

63 cp inner moldings are 63 cp only. The thin molding above your head and above the door is wider then 64-67 so where it meets the windshield molding that pc is wider to fit the connection between the two, and it has a 90o elbow at the rear not hooked to the hallo panel like 64-67, the hallo panel is 63 only the rest are 64-67. The center windshield inner top and bottom are the same 63-67 cp or conv. just the upper is painted in a cp. a lot of the pcs are chrome in the 63 cp just painted over.
The outer cp is 63 only, the outer convertible the two sides and the top are 63-67 the bottom molding is 63 only, I am not sure if the 63 cp and conv. lower outer are the same, I will check that out when I go to my garage, I have both off my cars.
64-67 cp inner and outer are all the same.
64-67 convertible inner and outer are all the same.

Perfect thanks. Thought inner center were same for coupe and convertibles. Let me know on coupe and convertible outer bottom, I think they're the same also.
63-67 inner pillars convertible all the same?
Any pics to show difference on 63 only halo panel? I thought they were all the same

Thanks again
