Hi, I checked in my Body by Fisher 1968 Service Manual (compartment shelf trim). The long molding (between the missing pieces) is called the back window lower garnish molding. So I'm assuming your missing pieces are the L & R lower corner garnish moldings, the manual did not go into that detail. On my '68 I have similar moldings, they appear to be just extensions to tie the whole lower garnish together.
Hope that helps.

They're generically referred to as "Package Tray Corners" and/or "Eggshells".


I have good, unbroken, used originals of those "PACKAGE TRAY CORNERS"...right now only one side (P side) but could probably come up with a nice D side to match.

Or---run a "Parts Wanted" ad and you should be able to come up with a nice used set from someone on here.

Don't know on repros....you'd need to check with some of the repro places.

The Parts Place reproduces these, but threirs has a grain texture (IIRC originals were smooth) and no metal eyelets around the screw hole.

I sent mine back and waited for some nice originals on eBay.

whatever you end up using, repro or good used, DON'T CRANK DOWN THE ATTACHING SCREWS REAL TIGHT. Over time, it may lead to warping of the plastic and/or stress cracks in the plastic.

does anybody know what goes between these two eggshell corner pieces ( if anything does go betweeen them ) and also what color do i paint the eggshell corners ( color of the car or interior ) because as of right now the color of the surface that the backglass sits on is the body color ...

That is how it should be.

The two small corner pieces and the one long metal piece (built into the car) all should be painted satin/semi-flat black for GM's anti-glare purposses.
