Default What is this part???
Hi all,

Now that the '69 vert is out of paint jail, I'm finally ready to begin the re-assembly process. I took a bunch of pictures during disassembly, but I don't seem to have any of this part, and there is only one (Missing one?).

Can someone please tell me what this part is for, and where it goes on the car, and how many pieces there are like this?

It was painted in the same color as the body, and the painter was asking me where the other part is, assuming it is a pair....

It's the top part of the B pillar trim that attaches to inside trim panels.


This shows upper and lower trim in place



Here the upper one is removed.

Fantastic, Craig. Yep, that's it. Now I just have to find the other piece. Thanks for the info!

Yup. One of my car’s trim pieces was removed and it was in my back storage hatch when I bought my car. People here can identify everything!
