Trim the same as the chargers?

Post by pats71 » Fri May 14, 2010 3:01 am

I'm trying to find the front and rear windshield trim pieces along with the roof drip rail molding/trim that holds the canopy vinyl top. I was told that the front and rear windshield trim is the same as the chargers in 71-74, but he wasn't sure if the roof drip rail molding is the same. It looks like it is but I'm not sure. Does anyone know?

I don't think it's the same. The quarter window and c-pillar shape on the Chargers is pretty different.

:bump:

Can't believe it's already been over a year and I still don't have this trim. Luckily since then, I have gotten my hands on the front and rear windshield trim. Found them out in a yard, but the cars were stacked so all the drip rail trim was mangled.

Still trying to figure out if the drip rail trim off a 71-74 charger or 73-74 satellite b-body will work on my 71' RR. Thanks guys.

Let me check my stash, I may have some extra drip rail moldings for an RR/Satellite.

The trim off of the 73*74 charger is the same as the 71*72 roadrunner. The trim of a 73*74 roadrunner is the same as the 71*72 charger. :D :beer:

I DO happen to have an extra set... Passenger side is very good, driver's side has a couple repairable dings. If you're interested PM me...
