Default windshield bottom edge?

its probably already been covered, but anyone know what the proper name for it is and where to get it form? maybe opgi? or somewhere else? i couldn't turn it up at goodmark, but its the edge around the windshield that rots out on virtually every 60s chevelle i've seen, i need front and rear, i though mine had been repaired till i poked it with a screw driver and found it just to be full of epoxy..... so is there a stamped piece preformed for this or am i gonna have to make something?

I got mine from OPGI

http://www.opgi.com/product.asp?topc...743&yearrange=

I'm assuming from your handle---a 66
And if you do not need the dash portion:

no one has info on the rear window channel? unless i am missing something i can't find it any where, i can work with what i have but i'm frame off restoring and would rather not skimp on one of the most common rusting areas of the chevelle, not that i'm restoring to sell but i want my dream car finished right, it would bug me to no end if i didn't do it right.

I was looking for that piece for you the other day-----I'm sure someone has it.
Just not sure who right at the moment.

Like this for the rear window? -

You either have to replace the whole panel, or fab the window channel, I believe. I don't think anyone sells just the channel.
