the molding came from a glass co call ryans auto glass. the molding is two pieces . its  off a chevy van. it is wide enough to fill the gap from the glass to the body. i hope this helps you.

Any way that you could post a pic or two of the trim before and after installation and possibly a part number for the guys that might need one some day?
I"m leaving the back glass stock on my wife's bird clone so I don't need any glass trim for her's but might build another one with the altered back glass eventually.
Here's a clone that I looked at a year or so ago with the black trim. The trim is a little wider than I would like, but then again it might need to be that way on this car since the back glass was actually lexan.

the part number for the molding is wktd1161. it comes with two rubber moldings + two metal caps. may kit did not have the caps.so i went to chevy for them . the part number for them is 14027097. this molding is the same width as the real superbird molding. my car has original superbird rear glass in it. when i get the top on i will take pictures. :drive:

A tip for the do it youselfers, on older cars with glass WITHOUT black band around glass , install Butyl tape on very edge of glass and then install in pinchweld , this way you wont see uneven Butyl tape from outside of car after trim is installed . I installed Glass for 5 years , just trying to help
