1984 Delta 88 Coupe Vinyl top molding

Needed for 1984 Delta 88 Coupe . Left side molding. Goes, behind the rear side window, and under the back windshield a couple inches Between the paint and vinyl top, White would be nice. Any color will do. Shipping would be to 19720 When cleaning the car today, the right side turned to dust. Need it also. May as well, ask for the one the runs under the back windshield also

I saw this on YouTube and wonder how the trim in question was created. I don't think you will find the original anywhere but I think some year's cars utilized a metal trim in the sail panel area, but good luck finding one.

Just a thought, could this molding be recreated with a 3D printer?

Yeah, the 3D thing sounds good, but you probably need a good part to scan.

Can you post a photo of exactly where you need the trim? Measurement? I may have useable used.

While not quite the business it once was ......

An aftermarket top shop should make easy work of something like this.

Down here in Florida for instance, they have installed aftermarket tops on damn near any thing on four wheels you could imagine.

Modern cars with modern body shapes & styling that have zero business having a top slapped on them.

These atrocities often have custom moldings fitted to them around the edges, that actually look like they were measured/cut/bent by someone who actually knew what they were doing.

The trick is finding one within a reasonable distance of you that can do it in person.
