No, but i've just bought the two upper corners that receive the t-tops, it does'nt look to hard through some exploratory inspection but it's always an adventure for me... i'll post my sucess?/ experience later this week until then i'll monitor this post,good luck :smash:

Re: chrome windshield mouldings? (Myeye2sky)
I did this a couple of years ago on my 77 when replacing a cracked screen. For the life of me I cant remember how they came off but i think that under the rubbers there is a screw or tabs. Ive put new rubbers on and I dont want to ferret around too muchlooking. hope this helps :cool: :cool: :cool:

Are you talking about the chromed corner mouldings ??
They basically unscrew, but often the windshield gets in the way of at least
one screw. I have about 6 of them lying around. If you need some pics,
I can try to snag some tonight.

The mouldings are attached to the pillar with the same screws that attach the channel that the window weatherstrip sits in. Remove the weatherstrip & you'll see them.
If you remove all the screws (five I think)... the channel & the molding will come off together because they're usually stuck together.
PS...the mouldings are polished stainless steel.

As the good MD says - you need to trash the weatherstripping to get at
the screws. I almost tried prying at mine, then stepped back and thought
about it before realizing that the WS channel was not glued on - but held
with the screws that also hold the trim.
