Hi all. Working on my '66 Newport 2 door. Recently the brightwork at the top of the windshield blew off of the car while driving on the freeway. Come to find out that it was glued on, and the glue failed. I can't find any clips present to hold the trim in place, hence the glue.
I sourced a replacement from one of our forum members, but am finding that the new piece doesn't fit quite right and I'm starting to wonder if someone used the wrong windshield gasket/seal when the windshield itself was replaced (no idea when that happened). Pictures below will show the gaps at either end of the brightwork, and then the seal itself, which seems to have something of a lip that can be lifted up, for no reason that I can ascertain.
Do I have the wrong windshield gasket/seal?
Was I sold the wrong brightwork trim?
TIA!
