Correct Rear Window Lower Corner Escutcheons?
« on: October 30, 2016, 06:09:44 PM »
Please refresh my memory on who carries  the correct lower corner (LH & RH) rear window interior trim for a '65 coupe? Cutlass/Lemans the same?

Thanks!

Thanks, Dan.

Have you confirmed these fit? My only hesitation is that none of the major parts catalogs (including Trim Parts) with the exception of Year One list this part as fitting the Skylark.

Dan, it has been several years since i replaced my rear window trim. I don't remember where i got it from but i had to use a heat gun to adjust the lower corners to fit.

They fit. The LeMans/GTO.rear window trim is the same. As Vinnie said a heat gun is needed for a really good fit as well as small hands to get into those corners.
