Hit the dents out with a punch sand then flat,polish the trim on a buffer and save yourself 200 bucks.

No one makes them new. And for what it would cost to ship over to Sweden, I'm sure you could either fix them yourself
or have it done there. They are made of stainless so they can be worked over pretty good without damaging them.
If I cant fix it, it's broke

If you do find some remember there are 2 styles, SE is different.

They are called lower rear vinyl roof trim. But make sure when you look, you need standard and not the SE style, it will not fit, too short and is a wider chrome trim.

Just learning :wave: .... why won't the SE trim fit? I thought it was just wider? How/were is it too short? :clueless:

Hello Brad my very good friend :wave: If you had an SE and a standard trim it would be so easy to see. But, if you were to lay an SE trim on the back of your Challenger you would see that it runs along the bottom edge of your full size rear window bottom edge chrome, the standard trim is back about 4 inches away from the full size standard rear window bottom edge chrome. That is the difference my Brutha :2thumbs: You hang around me buddy, i will show you so much and i have a Tan console that should be landing in Austtralia in roughly 17 days i was told today :bananasmi thank you for that buddy :2thumbs:

Thanks Ken, wow that console is taking a long time to get to you!  :faint:  You must have waited till you had a shipping container full first?

Originals are made of stainless, I've seen other made of different materials.

Hello. I kept these trims pieces for the eventual restoration of my Barracuda only to find out they weren't Barracuda parts. I ended up having to buy some from a salvage yard in Florida. The ones I'm now stuck with are supposedly from a Challenger. I don't really know how to determine if they really are or not and only just now found out that Challengers had two different types. If I can figure all of this out and they are suitable in re the condition would you be interested in them for $100.00 + shipping? P.S. The only clue I have at this time is that they look like the correct ones I bought except they are longer along the sides of the roof.
