It doesn't look like they have the rear panels and for convertible or for power windows. I heard something about Metro which looks to be called mega parts USA now if I'm correct. But they also don't seem to have the rear for convertible.

iirc METRO was a hobby business - due to increasing their full-time product they are no longer doing their hobby products
Dave at Roseville has their door panel molds Correct, Roseville purchased the mfg rights to some of the Metro product line, Metro has returned to making Skateboards and associated Skateboard hardware as that was more profitable than making Mopar stuff... That's one of the reasons you buy repro stuff when it's available, as there's no guarantee that just because of it being repro, that it will always be there when you want it...

There is a long list of parts that fall under that category

Dave @ Roseville, myself and Mike @ BEA have been working on getting the Cuda convertible rear panels made, from what it looks like now it will be a long shot if it happens. We have not even discussed doing Challenger convertible rear panels, IF they were be done it would not be until the Cuda rear panels are made and have been well received.
So you are looking at a long time IF and WHEN the Challenger convertible rear panels are made. Your only option currently would purchase the Palco rear panels for now and upgrade down the line if the new panels get made.
If you would like more info on the front or rear panels just shoot me an e-mail.

Thanks a lot Dante, I have the original rear white power window panels for the convertible but when I bought the car the previous owner had sprayed them black and had cut holes for spekers in the front ones. The backs are not in to bad of shape. I've tried a little to remove the black paint. I read in some posts a few ideas on how to do this the best way. 1 was powerwashing which caused me to ruin a small section of 1 of the front ones, but they had holes anyway. The other I tried was lacquer thinner which worked okay in some areas but was a little tougher to get off in others and never did coplete that process yet. If anyone has any good pointers on how to get the spray paint off I would appreciate it. And how to properly dye or spray my old ones it would help thanks.
