C2 Corvette Rear Quarter Window Trim: Identification & Sourcing Guide
Vehicle Coverage
1963–1967 Chevrolet Corvette (C2)
Part Identification
The chrome strip that runs along the bottom edge of the C2's distinctive rear quarter window goes by several names depending on the supplier:
- Rear quarter window surround molding
- Quarter window reveal molding
- Lower window reveal molding
- Sill molding
- Quarter window trim molding
The terminology varies between vendors, which is why the part can be difficult to search for consistently.
Sourcing Recommendations
Three specialists are well-suited for C2 trim pieces:
- Zip Corvette Parts — Corvette-exclusive supplier with a well-organised C2 trim section: carspanner.com/go/zip-corvette-parts
- Mid America Motorworks — Stocks both reproduction and NOS pieces for C2 trim: carspanner.com/go/mid-america-motorworks
- Eckler's Corvette — A reliable backup if the above two are out of stock for your specific year: carspanner.com/go/ecklers-corvette
Fitment Notes
Always search by exact year and body style. Trim details vary across the C2 production run and between body configurations.
Key fitment variables to confirm before ordering:
- The 1963 split window coupe uses different trim from the 1964–1967 cars
- Convertibles have their own trim variation distinct from coupes
- On coupe models, confirm whether the car has fixed quarter glass or the optional operable vent window — these used different surrounding trim pieces
