rear window trim-65 sedan
« on: June 19, 2008, 06:26:29 PM »
can somebody tell me how many pieces the inner trim has on the rear window of a sedan? OPGI states 3 pieces, 2 Ls and a center attaching piece, but the angle is wrong. My car didnt have anything so I dont know. Im think it uses 5 pieces. 1 long one across the top, 2 short one along the sides and 2 L's, or is that just on the hardtop?

Sedan uses three pieces--two long ones that have the upper turns in them and a connector piece in the middle.  The bottom L's are made up by left/right metal pieces that screw to the painted metal strip along the bottom inside edge of the window. 
  Hardtop cars have 5 pieces as you described.

I used the 7 pieces from a 65 Skylark 2dr sedan and they were the same as my 65 GS hardtop. The Skylark was in a junk yard and I removed the parts myself. I know the 65 Cutlass 2dr ht is the same also.
