NEW DRIP RAIL MOLDINGS

I would bet the new ones are like the originals before they were ever installed on a car - they fit tight in place. Then the car gets driven for 50 years and they lose tension and then you release even more spring when to pry them off (this is true in spades for a vinyl top car), so when you put them back on it's real easy. When I put them on sometimes I have to bend them in a little bit or they move around on the drip rail.
