67 vs 72 Stainless steel Windshield molding? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What the difference between 67 and 72 type stainless steel windshield molding? I now that the seal is different but is the molding bigger or wider? I want to put it on my 67 and would like to know the difference.

It is the depth into the gasket that is different. Have to match the gasket to the trim you have.

They look the same on the outside and the years will interchange as long as you have the correct gasket for the trim you have. The ’71/‘72 shallow trim has a 3/8 lip on it and uses the shallow groove gasket, and the ’67/’70 deep trim has a 5/8 lip on it and uses the deep groove gasket. In my experience the gasket with the deep trim is easier to install..... Put the gasket on the glass, then put the trim in the gasket, and install as a unit. You may have to put a few strips of masking tape around it to hold everything together until you are ready to install it.

I wouldn't buy the repo trim. From what I read it doesn't fit too well and makes the windshield almost impossible to install.
