Default Windshield trim

Need help finding the three trim pieces that go on the outside of the windshield. Been on the phone with all the big parts places and they either don't stock them any more or show out of stock. Any one out there replace them recently?

I replaced them (1989 coupe) in 2002 and they were a bitch to find back then. I think I got some of the near-last ones in GM SPO spare parts inventory because they showed 0 left available but their parts locator found some in Michigan distribution chain. If I have to replace a windshield again I'm gonna be ultra-friggin careful with those trim strips because they hold the weatherstrip on top and they are unobtainium as far as I know.... If anyone else knows of a source chime in.

I’ve got two sets. One from a 91 and one from a 94. Have windshield and halo pieces.

Those 3 trim pieces,when you could buy them we're almost $800. I have one NOS piece I hat I've got in my stash. The 3 pieces do not hold the WS in,there are retainers under the WS bolted to the frame that hood the WS in place.

Thanks Jeff I know they are only cosmetic , I went through this on the last C 4 I owned, and luckily for me I found the receipt ( which is very unusual for me ) from the place I got them from the last time .
