The lower rear window corners on my ‘68 Charger were gone, and I can’t tell if the patch for the quarter should butt up against the patch for the tulip(?) panel or should they overlap? I would assume during assembly the tulip panel would go on first, then the quarters? So maybe the tulip has a tab that goes under the quarter’s window channel? Currently, I have added a tab on the quarter patch so the tulip patch lays on top, as pictured.

No one has patched the rear window corners on a b-body? I must be the first! How about pictures of aftermarket panels, where the quarter and rear panel meet?
 
On my '68 GTX they actually overlap the trunk lip, so I think you'll need someone that has done a Charger before.
I needed the full outside corner which is basically the inside and outside corner combined. You can see that the lip overlaps the trunk lip by an inch or so.

I had started with just the inside corners but realized I needed more than that to repair this area.
This next picture shows the inside corners and how they fit to the outside corners.

I realize it’s been a while but thanks very much for the pictures and the information! I hope your project is progressing. I was able to get some screen caps off a Chris Birdsong video that showed the corners on a Charger.
