full vinyl top trim...quick question

Post by landon1 » Sun Jun 08, 2008 1:49 pm

how many pieces are there? 6, correct - one by the side window, the other goes across the quarter panel, and the last one wraps around to meet the rear window trim = 3 pieces X 2 = 6....just wanna make sure i'm getting all that i'll need
thanks

actually i need the gtx style, or at least the belt molding piece by the side window - usually seen on GTXs, but i was willing to settle for the regular top since those belt moldings are so hard to find

really, the gtx vinyl was different? it didn't have the stainless ones that went near the side windows? kinda curved very small on one end and wider at the bottom, do you happen to have a pic of the ones found on gtx's, this was off a regular 71 satellite with full vinyl---final price was 66.00, i was going to put these on my 71 sebring plus, but didn't have the heart to drill into the old lady

i think that normally, the gtx also had the belt molding, which ran along the side windows and across the top of the doors, so technically, there would only be 2 pieces per side of top molding, the other piece on the satellite is a bigger piece that is part of the belt molding...this is the only pic i have...don't forget to check out that hottie :lol: but this is pretty much exactly how mine will be done, except i have a 2-tone painted roof instead of vinyl, and i haven't decided if i want to do the interior factory black/white style or do it in blue/white

if i ever manage to get a set, i'm not going to drill, i'm going to use 3m tape or emblem/trim/molding adhesive(which works really good btw)

, the side window piece on the GTX, the piece tat goes down attaches to the other piece. It's not the same as the piece you would get on a vinyl roof car.
and the holes are not same :beer:


ooooooooooo nice 71 gtx :beer:
