Default 68 roadster windshield header molding?

hey all, i am laying out my 68 windshield molding too figure out what i might need....the 68 corner windshield molding is a 2 piece set pr corner. mine are a pitted so i was looking at CC web site and all i could find is a one peice set that looks like my 70-71 stuff and it’s the same CC has for sale..

these are not like 68 parts.

These are the small brackets.


These are the cast corners that the small ones screw too. . No body shows these parts for sale for some reason ? Does anyone know were I can get them ? Thanks all troy

No one repops the 68 2-pc upper windshield corner molding. The later years will fit and work , but they will not be correct for judging by ncrs .

The 2 part corner molding is 68 only, however early 68. Are those original to your car? My late May 68 had the 1 piece corners. If ypur car is early I suggest keeping them and have the larger part rechromed. The smaller parts were not actually chrome. Not sure of the name but it is had a duller finish. Someone may know.
As someone mentioned, the early 2 part system is not currently reproduced and used ones are hard to find and pricey.

My March 26th, 68 coupe has the 68 ONLY one piece corner molding. The reproduction molding is for 69-up, but kinda fits. The 68 molding has a very flat curve to it, or arch. The 69 one has a very curved upper surface arching up a lot higher.
I hope that this helps someone out. I did change mine and it takes some doing to get it to look and fit right with the 68 only top center stainless steel piece. Lou.
