I removed the stainless off my '69 Barracuda and replaced it with the rubber trim that the windshield guy had in his truck. They make 3 or different sizes of rubber trim that comes on a long roll. Not only did it come out nice but I sold my old trim for $500!! I removed the front and back trim because Barracudas are notorious for rusting around the locking tabs. That's where the rust starts then it eats away the gutter then you have a big problem
