What's the story with you hording the rear window trim? Did you say you have trim for a 67 Fastback Cuda?
If so, i'm listening. You got my attention. Everytime I see any go up for sale, they are gone before i can buy them. Figured i'd settle for the generic stuff if none are found by this time next year. I think the 68, 69 trim and window seal rubber and trim clips are different and won't fit properly. I'm not 100% posative though.

The original 67 A-body front and rear window trim were plastic based extrusions. Over time it shrank up leaving unsightly gaps at the corners and it also lost it's luster. Not to mention the stainless steel corners and straight joint covers were not securely held and would just disappear. More ugliness. Last time I looked, a set of 4 re-pop corners were going for around $50.

It is very common to convert 67's to 68-69 stainless trim. There was a good reason Mopar abandoned the 67 design. Do yourself a favor and go that route.
