I just have the 4 corners shown in the pics, should there not be more trim. It is a 67 GT Dart.
What looks like long bits of trim is actually plastic

Thx for looking

You're quite right, the '68 up trim was different. The '67 trim was the plastic strip with the 4 corners and that particular setup was a one year only thing. When new it looked OK and didn't leak but after about 6 months the plastic shrunk enough to allow water leaks around the windshield. The dealerships had a major headache trying to fix the leaks and did their best to deal with it. Dad bought a new '67 Valiant and after a few trips to the dealer for repairs, he fixed the problem by drilling a series of 1/4" holes in the floor to let the water drain out. The dealership fixed the problem in early '68 by replacing the windshield gasket and trim with '68 parts. I would suggest you do the same...
 
yep, I agree swap to 68 gasket and trim
 
Thx that's the answers i was looking for and i did try the search button. What i gather is i can use the trim and gaskets from 68 to 76
