Drip Rail Support

[Swamp Ape]

Hoping someone can offer some guidance. I have searched the forum and the interwebs and found some information, but nothing definitive.

I have a 72 Charger SE. The PO cut off the driver side drip rail support, and I want to put a new one on. I can't find a source for that says for sure it will fit this car. It seems that maybe the drip rail supports were the same for several years/models, but this is the first Mopar of this generation that I have dealt with on this.

I also assume the drip rail support is spot welded to the roof support like other vehicles of the era. I need to pull off some trim and stuff to take a look at it to verify that.

Anyway, if someone could point me toward a source for drip rail supports, that would be great.

Thanks in advance

It’s a bit different than that. The drip rail is part of a thicker piece that attaches to the pinch weld inside the weather strip holder. I can show a pick tomorrow, but I assume they are not available for that year?

Thanks, if you have a pic, that would be great. If I can't find them, I may just fashion something or shave them off all together. But, it seems like a drip rail would be a great way to keep rain from running down the inside of my windows

Sorry it took so long. Here’s some pics. Because they are not available for you year, you probably need to get some of it from a junk. You may not need all of it if you are good at welding.

I can weld, but I’m not sure I would say it is “good”

I wish I could just find the supports. I know I could spot weld them and get them in. I am going to keep looking. I’m dealing with something else right now, but I’ll look into it in a bit.

I may have a few pieces that you could use for some rotted spots. I got a winshield channel & roof section to repair my upper windshield corners & used some of the windshield drop to scab in my rotted channels on the passenger side. I will check what I have left. These aren't available aftermarket but moparmarks might have what you need if you want the entire piece(s)
