Default Need help with windshield trim

Hello, just had my windshield replaced and the top molding was replaced with an aftermarket piece that is too short and too thin. I was told all the aftermarket ones are the same and GM ones are no longer available. My original is a bit bent up. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

There were two different styles maybe the wrong one was put on. You can still find OE reveals, I have a few myself.

I've been unable to find any top moldings on line. Mine is a 91 coupe. If you know who sells them please let me know
