Default What are these called?

Using another members image.



I've searched "Windshield Trim" "Corvette Trim" "Corvette Interior" Everything on Ebay and cannot find these piece. Mine are literally falling to pieces and I'd like to replace them but cannot figure out where to find them?

Also does anyone know where I can find interior door panels(colored part) that are not $400+? The only ones I see on ebay are $400-500 a piece and this seems to be a stupid price to pay for a $15 piece of painted plastic..

Good luck finding ANYTHING on a C3 for $15, let alone door panels!?

I do have a brand new set for sale if you are interested.

Actually, "Header Molding" is likely just the horizontal piece, not the A pillar trim.

What you're looking for is called pillar post trim or moulding (molding) - there is a RH and LH of course.

The problem is they show all three pieces here.


And from what I can see the two side pieces are identical to the side pillars.. guess we'll find out.

The reason I had to ask "are these them" and got the sarcastic reply was because the Pillars are $75+ each.. vs $75 for ALL THREE pieces.. which is why I had to question it and double check.

Thanks for the help.

Pillar post moldings.

The outer two are pillar mouldings, the center one is called a header.

Well that sucks. The picture is fairly misleading because it shows all three pieces but makes no mention the other two are not included. For the corvette guru's here thats normal. But for an idiot like myself thats completely new, I figured I'd just found a great deal.(no offense but I have a 15% off with ecklers so.. I'd have saved money and purchased the pillars there.)

In Willcox defense they were nice on the phone and said I could return this item(because naturally thats the one piece that is perfect on the car so I do not need it) but would have to pay return shipping.. So I'm basically out $20-30 just for the pleasure of ordering from them.

Not happy.. Please if you include stuff in pictures at least mention its not apart of the price. Or have an option to add those items.

I'm confused

I gave you the link above to the pillars which only show the pillar and the full description https://willcoxcorvette.com/catalogs...c_part_year=19

I'm not sure how much closer to the right part I could have got but I'll try harder next time. As Tommy stated to you, feel free to return the header it will not be an issue.

Days before you posted I found this on your website and purchased it.
https://willcoxcorvette.com/corvette...od-coupe-73-75

The pillars are pictured and there was nothing stating they were not included which made me feel I'd finally found a fair price on them. So I grabbed them.

My complaint is you need to either specify that they're in the picture as representations or make it clear you can purchase them for extra cost.

Yes I can return it, but I'll be out shipping and time then.. I'm too stubborn to give up $30 for no reason, especially when I feel it was not my fault. $30 is a tank full of gas as far as I'm concerned.

I'll refuse delivery if I can that way neither of us are out anything.

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry, but I'm thinking the Corvette hobby isn't for you !!

This is just the first trip down memory la ..........it's an expensive toy with lots of lessons to be learned !
F.Y.I "PILLARS" are clearly different then "HEADER" You inquired what part you needed and all of the replies were "PILLAR" not "HEADER"...............

You're right its not. Which is why instead of being in a hobby or a collector, I wanted one car.. I collect firearms, not cars. It's a corvette forum, not the corvette hobby forum.
