Rear window moldings
« on: September 02, 2016 - 11:34:03 PM »
When i bought my Barracuda GC, the rear window moldings where long gone. But i got the 2 top corner pieces and they are textured.
Have a vague memory that i read somewhere that all GC:s came with textured rear window moldings. Is that correct?

If so, where they painted? The ones i have are black but that can of course be done by a PO.

My car was a Gran Coupe and came originally with chrome trim.
Yes it was a vinyl top car of course.

Interesting, mine had no vinyl top.
So, textured moldings without top and chrome moldings with top?

There is more to this than I will ever know, but didn't the rear window louvers have an impact on the chrome versus textured trim? Also heard, TX9 paint came with textured also.  :dunno: :clueless:

I added a vinyl top on mine so i am good. Must be hard to find a set of textured trim..... :money:
