Need Windshield Moulding
The Glass Doctor came by to replace the windshield and in the process dented every single piece of the aluminum molding by reinstalling it with his fist. The vertical piece on the A-pillar of the passenger side has 4 dents that are beyond acceptable that must have occurred when the tech removed it and creased it slightly.
Is there a company or someone with a collection of parts that has at least this piece? The truck is mint, shiny and nice with 110k miles so I try to keep it that way.

I'm in contact with the company, they are very helpful and are looking for a body man that can try to take out the dents and for new parts, both. I'm looking for new parts and thought that I might check here.
Both Glass Doctor and I are having trouble finding these obsolete moldings but I bet that someone on the forum can help.

Thanks for the link, I had seen that before and close up on the pic can see the exact piece that I need has a crease in it. I appreciate your effort.
The other part of the problem seems to be that these things are easily wrecked so the only unblemished ones are brand new. So 2 brand new shiny ones and the rest would be reflecting their patina. Not so good either
Taking the prices of each individual new piece, a complete set = $344.73 while the PGW windshield cost $261.36 So the Glass Doctor would be in the hole $83.37.
I'd rather have a clean set of used and leave the new for the people restoring these trucks, but I'm getting convinced that option doesn't exist.

I believe I have a complete set over in the barn, would be a couple days before I can get over there and look if you'd like though.
