Here’s mine. The trim can be removed with a wide flat upholstery trim remover, the clips can be drilled out of rusted and replaced easily. Got mine from Stephens Performance. I may even have extras tucked away if you need them.

The Slickback option is in the 1969 Barracuda sales brochure. But what is the option code? Is it listed on the fender tag?

it is simply a vinyl top OPTION on the BH29 Barracuda fastback - available in: V1X black, V1W white, V1F green, V1T tan (NOT AVAILABLE in "Mod Top")
"slickback" is just a fancy marketing word for the brochure - it found its way on to roughly 9.5% of fastback production Wiki refers to it on some Chrysler models as "canopy" style. Don't know if the "slickback" fits this category or not?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_roofCanopy - in this style, the vinyl covering is applied only to the front half or two thirds of the roof, usually ending at the trailing edge of the rear side windows. The windshield pillars are very commonly covered in this style, but the C pillars never are.

FWIW, page 10 of the sales brochure for the 1969 Barracuda, no doubt written by a draft card burner in a Beatle haircut, mentioned not only "Slickback" for a fastback with vinyl top, but also these:
"Drophead" for Barracuda convertible.
"Knockabout" for notchback with 6-cylinder and 3-speed column shift.
"Cuda 340/383", actual real things.
Prior pages pitched Formula S, Road Wheels (recall wheels), and numerous options.

Wow. Never heard of this option before, but that's pretty hip for Chrysler to offer a vinyl top style based off a popular haircut of the time. That's just groovy, man.
