Hoping someone can help... I had an issue with a gap across the upper windshield molding where the front edge of convertible top header molding lip meets it. IMO the front lip of the header molding should wrap over the front edge of the header and the lip should drop below the upper windshield trim. In my case I even used a thicker windshield and 3/8" butyl to try and keep the windshield high enough so the moldings around the windshield would have no gap and the moldings would be kept higher so the chrome header molding lip would fall below the upper windshield molding. My passenger side header molding did drop below the upper w/s molding, but my drivers side had a considerable gap between the header molding lip and the upper w/s modling. I also notice that the lip on the passenger side header molding was longer or deeper than the drivers side. I bought these repro header molding back in 2011 and when i tried to install them, fall of 2014, I realized there was a quality issue. The pontiac restoration parts company (who shall remain nameless) tried to tell me it was the installer. When I asked him if they ever installed these before, he said no. I tried to show him the difference in the OE vs Repro and he just said they don''t see it. Oh well, I am going to try and buy another set hoping that the ones i bought back in 2011 are improved upon or I got a bad set last time.
Does anyone have a recommendation or are they all made by the same company?
