Can anyone tell me how to confirm if a Superbird rear window trip is an OEM set or reproduction?

[Wing It]

I own a Superbird that currently has an AMD rear window trim set on it. I found someone who is selling an original set. Does anyone know how to confirm that it is original? The seller is far away and I am only able to see pictures so far. Any help is appreciated!

Usually reproduction trim is thinner than the original. I really think there is a reliable way to tell, as there is no numbers or pentastar on these pieces.

Only way I'd know, is it actually fit!

is the thickness difference measurable with a micrometer? or by weight?

 

[Jerry Hall]

It may be able to be measured by weight and thickness. Mine is original so this is something that I'm not sure about. Does the trim you have fit the car? Is there any difference in the shine compared to other trim? These are the things I would be looking for.

Can you give a review of your AMD trim? How does it fit and look? Thanks

It fits somewhat poorly. If I used some clear silicone and glued it down to the window in a few places it would look better. The shine is good but it sticks up in some areas. I can push it down in the areas it sticks up and then it looks great. When I let go, it springs back up. It is better than nothing though.

So the radius is wrong on the angles?

Pictures of issues would help people decide.
