Rear window moulding

How hard is it to find the snap in moulding around the rear backlite  for an 88 Sport or LX  ?
 Does anyone have one for a reasonable amount of money ?

check with your local auto glass installers, one told me they had a universal one that was close.

 yes and no
From what I understand 87 and 88 sport and lx models use a one piece snap in molding  similar to later ford models not the multi piece aluminum trim that was used for half a century or better
 This is my first "aero bird " so I am leaning as I go
 My prior birds were as follows in order that I owned them  84 TC, 86TC, 83TC and 85 TC

I have been trying to find one in good shape for years. The ones I have seen at wrecking yards were in worse shape than mine . I ended up buying the TC trim from (86caprirs) grinding the hooks off the trim and setting it in place with silicone till I find the correct kind.

I bought one of these from this seller. The factory ones (Black) dry up and actually kind of shrink . I know it costs a lot but you wont regret it if you get it.
