Back seat outside window trim for '74 Hurst

Looking for the trim that goes on the quarter windows for a '74 Hurst. I already have one 'v-shaped' piece if that helps; need the rest.
Thanks!

It is the triangle window for a '74 Hurst. This has the targa which makes it a smaller opening then an 'S' model.
Thanks Greg, but still looking...

Keep in mind that Hurst modified the original GM pieces to make them work with the smaller window opening...

Glen: Do you think an average joe could modify the ones that came with the Cutlass 'S' ?

I don't see why not, but your issue is you don't have the stainless splice covers Hurst used to cover the cut on the bottom edge. Offhand I can't think of anything readily available that duplicates them, but there WAS something, and if Hurst used it I can guarantee it was cheap and easy to find. It's possible the same cover piece may have been used on those big-*** quarter windows on Ninety Eight or Caprice coupes.

Those plastic pieces should be easy to cut accurately using an X-Acto or jeweler's saw. Yah, I know, as expensive as those NOS pieces would be, you hate to go cutting on them.

I still don't understand why no one has started reproducing the stuff yet. As many Colonnade cars from the four Divisions as people are starting to do, there's a vast untapped market for someone. But I have to stop and think- Lagunas and GrandAMs had louvered quarter windows and didn't use the plastic trim, and those are better than half the market right there.
