vinyl top question

[my79monza]

I have a newly aquired Monza coupe with a vinyl top.
I will replace the top If I can find someone to do it.
What has anyone done about the funky imatation chrome trim around the little side opera windows.
Mine is really bad, crumbles like soda crackers.
Any ideas is appreciated.
Thanks, Merle

somewhere recently on this site, someone wrote about drip rail moulding from advance auto parts.
I don't think it was large enough in diameter to mate to the corner pieces.(on formal window monza trim)
I purchased universal trim from J.C. whitney, same problem, only 3/8 " dia. need 1/2 " ? ? I think??
my search continues, GOOD LUCK , and let me know what you find.

Just a thought, might check with an upholstery shop that does vinyl tops and maybe they can get the larger. If so Let us know. I have the door edge guards on mine, of course my has a satin paint on the top, which doesn't look too bad, but might be interested in putting a top back on it. Of course the vinyl might stretch the smaller to the larger size as it will add some thickness tot he window metal, and the drip rail.
