But all the trim will have to come off to reseal the front and rear glass because they are leaking. So I started thinking that I would send out the original trim to have it straightened and polished...
The original trim is thicker, stronger, doesn't have sharp edges, and it clearly fits better, particularly around the corners and the curves of the window openings.
The original trim is also original Ford stuff, and it's nice to keep the car original if possible for things like this.
I put the original trim in a PVC pipe and shipped it out to Colorado to get straightened and polished, which might take two months. Not sure about the cost, but it was already nearly $50 for the pipe and the shipping! I believe it is at least $15 per foot...
The photos here show the repro corners that I don't really like that much upon close inspection. And the final photo shows the original trim cleaned up and ready to ship in the pipe.
