Windhield moulding clips
This was done by Larry Oberman on the BOG ( Barracuda Owners Group) on his wifes Barracuda vert. Here is what he wrote about it. I will also add the pictures he posted as soon as I load them on my photobucket account.
"vert windshield seal
Finished my experiment on the wife's vert windshield gasket.
Since I had converted to a lower stainless trim piece,I wanted to try a
standard hardtop gasket.As Frank reported,The trim wont fit well when you
use the vert lock strip.
In the 1st picture you can see the bottom of the new gasket with the
integral lock strip,2nd picture the original gasket and groove for the
original lock strip.
3rd picture is the top of the old gasket and 4th is top of the new.Other
pictures are the trim clips.
The only major difference is at the top of the new gasket.You can see in the
picture a rubber flap that is used to cover the front edge of the headliner
on the hardtops.Because the vert has a metal trim piece to finish the top of
the windshield frame,this flap is in the road.
So I cut about 1/2 inch of it off all the way across the top.
I installed the windshield using butyl rubber sealant,like the factory did.
Sprayed it down with a hose and no leaks.
The stainless trim snaps in easily and looks good.
Best part is the gasket was under $100.00 where the original vert piece is
about $160.00 with the original lock strip."
