Hello, I've yet to work on my mustang once more but I was getting parts together for what I was going to need and I figured that since my a-pillars were cracked and missing large pieces I would probably end up needing to replace them later, I decided I might as well now. from what I understand from 71-73 there was 3 separate trim for each year equaling out to 9 different ones? Having the coupe, convertible, and the fastback, and with my luck I've not been able to find any 73 fastback a-pillars, is this something I'm gonna have to try and find in a junkyard or is there a repo that I've yet to find. I understand that either way I'm probably gonna pay up the ass for it.

There are two molding types - sportsroof and hardtop. The convertible part is simply a modified hardtop molding - the upper end is trimmed off. There may be running design changes from year to year, but a 1971 part will fit a 1973 and vice-versa.

Oh okay thank you! I that’s good to know, I guess I was very mistaken. I will look into getting a pair then thank you!
Make sure you look them over when you get them and look for thin spots. I got a pair from him and the passenger side was thin down towards the bottom and it warped from the heat sitting outside. The driver’s side was good and thick all through its whole length and didn’t have any problems with it.
Same happened to the quarter window trim and rear sail panel pieces above the package tray.
