Including your post looking for the vinyl top trim, you have now listed 5 of the hardest to find and most coveted parts on a '65 GS!   The only other item in the same category is the optional wide belt reveal moulding for the hardtops and convertibles.
  One hint that may help with one item is that the horn relay is the same one used on all '64 Skylarks.  Alot easier to find one of them sitting around than a '65 GS. 
  You can make the flywheel housing cover by modifying one from an early 60's dynaflow transmission.  They are alot easier to find than the correct one.  Took me 10 years to get my hands on the correct one that is on my car.

The 65 Cutlass has the same horn relay and block. Don`t know whether engine size makes a difference. I picked up a spare in a scrap yard from one with the 330 V8.

Horn relay is reproduced. Not an exact appearance reproduction, but does cross-reference to the '65 GS part #
