OEM Pillar Post Trim ID?
Is there a way to identify OEM pillar post trim from aftermarket? I bought a used "matched" set, not sure of the origins, one fits perfect, the other really bad. I'm going to look for an original set, just need to know what I'm looking at and for. For your info, my structure on the backside is metal.
Thanks, Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Here's an example of an original and a repro.

Notice the difference in the shape that wraps the a-pillar.
Note shape of recess for velcro plate.
Note 3 holes (2 small, 1 large) in original.
Also notice the difference in the vinyl 'grain'.
