I’m not 100% sure these are the stainless drip rails you are referring to, because my 70 had a vinyl top and that may have provided a different molding? If you look at post #76 and 77 in this string, I show pictures of mine.

Oh!!

Those I believe were a part of the chrome 'decore' package - something my car was not built with.

If these are the parts, I had previously thought I added these to my car, but I believe I must have been mistaken, and am instead remembering R&R'ing the parts of my former 73 Formula when I painted it;
I looked at my cars weather strip retainers (no drip edge with them), and went out to the garage to find that I did have a spare/matched set of these window drip edge parts;
The ones I have here in my hand appear to be polished aluminum, and are visually different;
They have extended portions where they tuck under the weather strip retention screw locations - as opposed to what looks to be notch out's on your parts.

These parts are great by the way;
In light rain ect, they prevent water from dripping into the car - specifically on your interior door panel.

Unless someone posts otherwise, I will consider this matter resolved!

Thanks guys!!
