#1 question is anyone finding any of this for sale still? Seems almost unobtainable
#2 if you have this chrome trim what are the options for replacing the dew wipe weatherstrips?

I don't seem much of the trim available from the regular Mustang vendors. Fox Resto occasionally has some NOS parts, but generally charges BIG $$ for that. Ebay, and WTB here are probably your best options.
If you have your lower window trim in chrome in good shape, just order the full replacement trim and weatherstripping from any of the vendors, then swap the weatherstripping from the new trim to your chrome trim. I do the same even with the black/grey trim since the new stuff is poor fitting and generally comes in damaged anyway. Good Luck!

Ditto what Trey says. I ordered the dew wipes in gray trim and they came in bent and the finish was cracked/chipped. I was glad to see you can move the new rubber to the old trim. It’s not hard to do, just takes a litttle time.
