63 windshield trim
I know that this has been discussed here before but a search did not find what I am looking for. I am helping a friend with his SW and his side windshield SS trim is too high. I think that 63 moldings were 1 year only. If this is true than he must have 64 to 67 moldings. The thread that I was looking for was one where someone was now offering a modification of 64 to 67 moldings to now fit a 63. Am I dreaming or is this true. My friend is not a member here on the Forum and does not use a computer. Thanks for any help.

63 coupe moldings are one year only moldings. 64 to 67 are not even close and not work. There is someone making side moldings for the cp. from 63 to 67 convertible stainless steel and modifying them to work with the cp. They work but they are detectable. Your friend does know that the windshield trim is higher than the door trim on a 63 coupe it’s the way it is made.
Thanks

Pictures would help -- most of the problem I've heard of are because of over-sized repro rubber or bad/repro clips...at the time of this article Paragon had the best repro clips and Corvette Rubber the best molding:

Thanks for this helpful information. We will go back and look at the clip situation. Maybe we can figure it out.

Does he have the 63 top molding? I’ve seen guys try to use the 64 to 67 coupe top molding and they don’t fit at all different configuration.
