Default Windshield moldings

Anyone out there in Corvette land know if the windshield moldings from the later year C4' will fit an 86 coupe? My windshield took some rock damage and the company trying to fix it cannot find the moldings. Any help would be great and certainly beat driving around with a giant crack in my glass!!

They are all the same - They can be rescued but it does require patience and a refinish of them certainly helps after they're removed. Do they have a new weather-strip?

Thanks WVZR, I truly do not know enough about this repair to say if they have weatherstrip. All they told me was they could not find the moldings anywhere. I'm using my insurance to cover the repair as it was caused by flying gravel off a truck. Any more info you have on this would help me a lot, parts list etc. The repair place my insurance company sent me to doesn't seem to have a clue as what to do. I know there must be something I can do, am I supposed to scrap my car because they can't replace the windshield?? Lol
Thanks again
