Rear Hatch Glass Molding Problem - Help! If you take a look at the pics below, the molding is coming off of the rear glass on my car. I have noticed a lot of Camaros out there that have the molding around the bottom of the glass, but no molding running up around the top of the roof.
My question is why my car has it and others don't? Also, will it hurt anything if I just go ahead and remove the top molding strip? Where can I purchase replacement molding for the bottom of the window, and what is the best way to put it on?
Thanks, Joe

Tuning in, mine is still firmly attached, but has oxidized really bad. I've tried everything to get it black again; going to order some "forever black" trim dye... if that doesn't do it I'll be looking into getting new moulding... if I can!

Mine looked just like that in my Formula. When I switched out my Formula Hatch glass into a 94 High Rise Trans Am Hatch (TA hatch the glass was busted out) I had to get new molding. its round 100 bucks give or take. No you dont have to get a new hatch but they do have to destroy the old molding in order to remove the window in order to replace it.

I'm taking it then that this job would be best left up to the pros. I have a few local glass shops that I'm going to call in the morning and find out information.
Any idea why my Camaro has the trim running around the top of the window near the roof and other Camaros do not?

But I doubt the OP is seeing a ton of '93 Camaros at this point, so your assessment is probably correct in his case.
Did the early 4th gens even come originally with the top trim/molding piece around the glass? I don't seem to recall any of the '93 cars having this, even when they were new/newish, not sure about '94 though. I recently looked at a very low mileage '93 pace car (collector quality type car) that didn't have the top piece, which I thought I remembered as being normal for those early ones. Definitely still had the bottom piece though.
