Default Windshield Reveal Molding Help

I had a new windshield installed in my '77 a while back and the installer has misplaced the exterior reveal moldings that fit around the windshield. It's a long story how this happened.

Can anyone send me a copy or post the page from an assembly manual that shows how the moldings fit together? I sure would appreciate it. I am especially interested to verify the upper corners and if there are moldings that help retain the "A" pillar weatherstrip.

Thanks!

My advice is to spring for the cost of the '77 AIM. Not only will it help you with your windshield moldings, you'll use it for lots of things later.

Just curious: did your windshield installer purchase replacement moldings for the set he misplaced?

Thanks for the advice Mike. I actually own an AIM but have moved and the box with this and several other of my Corvette items is MIA. I have ordered a replacement but it's not here yet.

I have located a used set of moldings but would like to confirm how the upper corners fit together.

Hi FM,
Here's a picture of the upper windshield corner trim on my 71.
There is a seperate piece of trim for the A-pillar that retains the weatherstrip.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
