72 door jamb windlace
Hello , I'm looking for a pair of door jamb windlace and can't seem to find it for sale on corvette websites . My vette never had them so Im not sure what material and what they look like but it looks like it's one peace that snaps into the door jamb grooves ??? Please lmk if they are replicas or other alternative . Thx

Hi Mike,
It's actually 2 pieces of metal trim per side that is painted to mach the exterior color.
They'r fastened to blind nuts in the quarter panel interior trim with small oval headed chrome plated screws.
Regards,
Alan

A set
Did you find a set. I am cleaning out my attic of thirty years of Corvette parts.
I happen to run across a set out of a 69 I had a few years ago. At least I think they are out of that 69. Plus, there are a few more stray pieces other than that set.
If you are still interested in a set, PM me with your private e-mail andwe can take it from there.
If you need any other parts, let me know. I still have ten or fifteen more boxes to pull down on top of the ten I already have down.
Most parts are from 68-72 cars with some 63 stuff thrown in there.

They are called interior rear quarter trim retainers. The coupes and convertible upper two pieces are slightly different.

Hi Mike. These are not easy parts to locate if looking for originals. I've seen only a few sets come up in the nearly 10 years I've been following this stuff. I
f it's originals you need, be patient and be willing to buy them individually as they come up. You can paint/dye them to your needed color, so don't be afraid to buy one that's not your color. If reproduction parts will suit your needs, most all the reproduction houses (many of them are sponsors here) have them available for you.
Hope this helps.

Are you guys refering to the piece at the bottom of the door jamb area? Close to the sill plate? I have a water leak issue in that same area and my 72 coupe and it did not have those pieces when I purchased it some 16 years ago. Is that trim mld at a 45 degree angle to deflect water?
