I have several roof and A pillar stainless moldings off 69 Chevelle 2 door hdtps.
Does anyone know the exact difference between the vinyl top type and standard types?

Is there a specific measurment? Maybe the width or height?
Is it just the top edge that is different?

dont have any measurements but im sure that the vinyl top moldings are thicker as the molding goes over the vinyl and on a non vinyl car they dont.

My original one on a vinyl top car mikes .524 high at the door window/qtr window juncture.

When I compared, the trim from a vinyl top was about 1/16" wider, which makes all the difference getting those suckers on.

Von and Dan, that's the info I am looking for.
I'll measure these moldings and see what I have.
I'll post some measurements.
