I bought a set from 521 restorations, they were nice, but too small for a vinyl top. In order to use any new mouldings for vinyl you need to grind, and then sand smooth the drip rails until they just snap on with your fingers. I would also warn you to only epoxy prime the rails, then mask them off so they get no paint buildup. When you install them, wear cotton gloves and do not beat on them. I have a set from classic industries, and they appear to be the same. I found a set of originals for mine with vinyl, for a non vinyl car these would be fine, with a pre fit.
