Default Where can I get one of these?

I have just completed my rebuild of my 88 Mustang with t tops but I seem to misplace one of my essential parts. In the front and back of the t tops is a molding that goes across the width of the car. Each molding is composed of three peices: left, right and center. The center piece is the same for the front and back but I have lost one of mine. Does anyone know where I can find this piece? I have checked CJ's salvage yard but no luck. Please help me so I can put this car on the road!

ahhh.. well.. good luck lol.
never seen one for sale aftermarket, dunno what it would even be called. i just searched all my resources with no luck. Any good body shop should be able to craft something up for you, though.
try www.car-part.com

I would say check your local scrap yards. It might be hard to find that for an 87/88 ttop, but maybe the peice is the same from the prior years as well?
And, that peice is hardly keeping that car off the road, just leave the tops off and drive 'er.

Agreed but this is the last piece to finish the car. It's just kind of bothering me because I can't say it's officially done. And the older t top cars have different moldings.

It would bug me too. I'm not sure of anyone making that part.
