What would a person expect to pay for driver quality vinyl top trim? Are the hold down clips still available? Thanks in advance, Mike.

You can find clips that will work for the piece that runs below rear window. The push-in clips that hold the short pieces under the Gran Sport logo, I could not find. I was able to save my old clips and they seem to hold okay. This trim is getting hard to find, so I would guess the price is what ever you are willing to pay.

The 65 GS belt trim is not unique to Buick or the GS. I've seen this "vinyl top" trim on either Pontiac or Oldsmobile. I believe Chevrolet is different. There is company that makes zillions of clips, I just can't think of who it is right now. The ones that clip into the c-pillar will be the hardest to find. The bolt-on ones can be found in a substitute.

That's good to know that the trim isn't unique to the buick. Thanks for the info guys, I appreciate it. Mike.

Trim is Buick only! the GTO trim is straight on the sail panel not curved like the Buick. The only cars you will find the trim on is a 64 -65 special with two tone paint or vinyl top or the 65 gs post or hardtop! The name of the company Mark was thinking of Au-Ve-Co products (auto-vehicle-parts-co),I think they will show some hardware on line! you will most likely have to buy them at a body shop supply house.
I think Restoration Supply out of PA might have them!Jon

Thanks Jon, that might have saved me an "issue"in the future. Mike
