The picture shows 2 different vinyl top trim pieces.
The top longer piece is for a 69 Coronet R/T.
For what model is the shorter narrower piece?

Thank you...
Purchased a set on EBAY for a 69 Coronet
received the shorter Road Runner version. Seller was in total denial.

Exactly - I thought I had the right part, was advertised as 68-70 Coronet vinyl top trim. The difference is subtle until you try and install on a Coronet and the Plymouth trim is about 1 inch short.

Several years ago I debated the difference here on Moparts and a certain member was so hard headed he refused to accept they are different. There was really nothing to debate but his mind was made up. I'm pretty certain the quarter windows are not the same either.

Admittedly - I didn't think there was a difference until I actually mounted them and realized they were 1" inch short on a 69 Super Bee I was restoring couple years back.
I still have them laying around as I don't do many RR's with vinyl - But come to think of it - I will be doing a 70 RR V-code soon - so I will get to use them on that.
