I just picked up parts taken off my car before bodywork/paint and was horrified to see that they pried off the trim that holds in the door and targa seal. I told them that I would have new seals but didn't expect them to go ape on the trim. Those are only held in by small screws accessed by taking out the rubber seals. Unbelievable.

So, how hard is it to obtain those chrome pieces? The two that are attached to the "A" pillar for the three sectioned seal and the two that are attached to the door post for the door seal. I need to get a value as I think they should pay. I doubt they are even available new.

I might have a shot at good used ones. I can't imagine that those are taken off too often.
If anyone is selling at the Parts Heaven swap meet on Sunday...please bring 914 trim. I'll also be looking for the lower sail trim as once the paint was stripped, it showed the trim holes filled with Bondo. Going back to the sail vinyl. I also noticed that at one time my car must have had the awful rubber ding guards down both sides. So many dealers did this.
