Get rid of the slits!!!! They are crap!
I straightened these out with a jig and a 1/8" router bit when I originally build the car back in 1990. They didn't function worth a #%$@!
Now that I'm completely redoing the car, I'm glassing these over and installing two of the chrome defroster trims (one on each side of the dash area) that you can obtain from Finish Line.
Also, test fit your windshield and lower windshield gasket. The wiper holes on my car were drilled by CR at the factory and the passenger side wiper hole was actually a little too close to windshield that the lower windshield gasket partially covered the wiper trim. It always bugged me that the two wiper trims weren't equal spacing from the bottom of the windshield. I'm fixing that when I redo the body work by moving the pass side hole about 1/4" forward, filling the elongated portion of the hole with Fiberglass mat and resin.
If you are a detail person, the positioning of the wiper holes will bug you if they are not equal from the lower windshield gasket.
