After Market vs Original Moldings

[money pit]

The molding on my windshield and rear window are pretty damaged. The windshield and rear window leaked so the previous owner used a lot of RTV to seal it and attach the molding. The edge of the molding that the molding clips mounts to is pretty bent. In addition, the molding on the rear window doesn't lay flat. Is it better to try to repair the original molding or replace it? Is the after market moldings any good? Thanks

Thanks. I'll see if I can find someone to repair the original moldings.

There are a lot of old guys that can do wonders with stainless moldings.

I got a nice OE set from Tony's Mopar parts.

Was the price resonable? An aftermarket trim set is about $250 for the rear and a little more for the front. Thanks

I'm checking to see if I can find someone locally to repair and straighten my trim. Thanks
