Hi I’m planning on taking my car to a glass shop to replace the seals since mine are dried out from the pleasant PHX weather I live in. I have noticed that the moulding on the interior of the windshield is pealing away and also was attached in pieced together strips instead of one singular trim piece. Is there a part I should be looking for to replace this? I haven’t found anything on autokrafters. Seals I’m purchasing from Precision:
How about a photo? There isn't any trim inside the car around the glass, it is all part of the glass weatherstrip.
As Jason said - no trim. It is all part of the seal. If you have a glass shop do it - make sure the tech knows how to do classic cars. With the old butyl style sealer (I like 3M brand, # 8509). If they use the newer car stuff you will have problems. New car glass gets cemented into place and stays put. These old cars the glass moves around in the seal as the car body flexes. The sealer must remain soft. From the factory the back glass was put in without the butyl sealer like the front glass has. There was a strip of butyl tape along the bottom metal edge in the rear. I did mine both front and back with the 3M sealer. No issues with leaks. Here is a 20 year old thread with a link that still works! It has a great video.

If the headliner needs replaced.....NOW is the time to do it. Headliner is put in before the glass as it gets wrapped around the pinch welds.
