67 had a plastic lockstrip. 68 is stainless steel trim all around. Same as can be found on dart, valiant, and scamps...

Convertible does use the plastic lock strip on the bottom year one list it as part number cm8 but is shown as currently unavailable.
Also check momoparman's thread on his wife's vert. I believe he replaced it with a stainless piece

Does it have a function? Is it shiny? The PO screwed a piece of plastic into its place. Looks like ****
It's vinyl so the sun can eat it up over time. Most of these cars are well kept today so a good reproduction piece, even without UV protection incorporated, should last a very long time.
As for its function.. It serves as a lock insert for the rubber gasket preventing water leaks. If you did replace it with stainless reveal molding from a hard top for the aesthetics you should put something in the gasket but there again, they don't normally sit out in the weather today.
