I am looking for measurements for a 69 Charger tail stripe. I found the factory diagram but it is for 68 and they are different. If someone can measure a car if possible would be great. I know they should be centered over the side light opening. Measurements at top of quarter end to stripe would help. Also at trunk center tip to stripe and trunk side tip to stripe.Having some reference points would give me a bit more confidence.

Or maybe look through the Mopar Action archives for the '69 factory schematic ?

From what I've seen on original paint cars, the stripe is a little off from being centered to the reflector opening.

My Charger was painted once in the early 80's and by today's standards it's pretty mediocre. On a good note there are remnants of the original stripe on some areas.

The first photo is hard to see but the measurement is 3-1/8".

This photo is at the bottom of the quarter panel and the measurement is almost 15/16".

Here's a back in the day pic from the web showing the stripe not centered to the reflector.
