Default 70 rocker moldings with tab

Does anyone know where to get the correct rocker moldings with the bottom tab on them for a 70? Ecklers had pictures of them on their on line catalog but when they arrived they did not have them. They agreed to pay to ship them back and refund the shipping I paid. I ordered some from Corvette Central over the phone. They assured me they had the tabs but would not be available until March 12: That was fine and I ordered them. I received a call from them yesterday and they said they have been discontinued. I have not found anyone else that carries them. Also does anyone know who has good power window motors for sale? Thanks!

They are pricey but that is what happens with items that have a short run.

As Forman just stated, they were just recently being repop'd but quality was poor, easy to see they were not originals, plus they were not anodized as original.

even with the bubble wrap and a cardboard cylinder there were minor dents and gouges ,, tool marks all over them ,, it was not from shipping it was from manufacturing ,, bare aluminum no coating ,,
I went on ebay last night and found the ones with the tabs and it even warned in the ad that they were blems but they sold 67 pairs at 200.00 a pop

I found a pair on E-bay from JBcorvette. They said they were manufactured by Corvette America and the last ones out of 5 sets they had. We’ll see how they look when they get here.

Default moldings

I would guess.
Originals with no damage, $500 pair based on what used and repop's cost. I would think to find these they would be early take offs as the moldings w/tabs were never available over the counter from GM. This is why you never see NOS moldings in the wrappers.
