Hi Gerald , First Time here really appreciate it. I could be wrong because I have only seen the 72 Hurst/olds one time about 40 Years ago. I saw this long time ago on ebay as the part used. Someone outbid me. The ones I saw was screwed on.

Gerald is wrong here...... There are triangular end caps that go behind the rear window on each side. They are wrapped in the vinyl top material and are held in place with a single screw into the topside of the quarter panel. There is a guy in Ohio that reproduces these end caps in stainless.... they are very nice. I bought some about 10 years ago.
