Wide Sill molding ?
« on: January 04, 2017 - 09:11:46 AM »
So...      1973 Challenger with option code for wide sill moldings...      I have seen the 1970-1971 style...     but for 1972-1974 I've only seen a this stainless piece as a rocker panel trim....        My car has the trim long gone but the only remnants is the welded studs centered on the rocker panel - I assume they are for trim clips - but I can not seem to find a photo of a 1973 Challenger with the rocket trim... 

any help ??

1973 Challenger never came with the "wide" sill moldings. They came with the thin moldings only like every other 1972-74 E Body. :2cents:

I'm curious: what's the code, and where did you find it described as "wide sill moulding"?

it was coded as M-25 on the fender tag - some mopar fendertag decoder spit it out as "wide sill molding" ---   probably just a layover from 1970-1971 model years...

You have to read the correct fender tag decoded for the year of your vehicle  :2cents:

Sill moldings were M25 no matter what year. They were optional on all models. 1970-71 used wide moldings, 72-up did not.
