Reproduction Convertible pinchweld moldings opinions?

    I'm looking through the trim I have and one of the pinch weld moldings is tweaked and I'm not sure if I can get it to look right again. Has anyone any experience with the reproductions out there?

    I may have an extra left. Believe my right is tweaked too. Heard the repops were thin?

    Yes it's the stainless moldings that go around the opening at the base of the conv top. I'll have to check after work to see what side I need.

    I may have one here, too, if the other offers don't work out.

    Are 68/72 all the same? Are you looking for the narrow or wide where they meet the quarter window?

    Now I think Adam is talking about the "hockey sticks" that wrap around the body behind the convertible top.

    Originally I thought he was talking about the vertical vinyl pinch welts that go between the doors and the rear quarters.

    Adam, Do you know what the correct mounting screws for this molding looks like? Mine have been off for a while and I'm unsure now. :( Thanks, Mike

    Adam, Here's the ones I bought for the job. But I also have these fine thread pan heads that I thought might be correct. I want to run a tap through the holes first.
