Hello,
I have a 70' w30.
I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this chrome I have on my car. This chrome sits at the top of the door and has the door/window seal attached to it (window fuzzy). The peculiar part is that they are 3/4" thick. Not the usual pin strip. 2pcs per side. I am wanting to identify them in order to find new seals.
Thank you

 

Option code B80. Found on 1970-1972 Cutlass variants.

CORRECTION B85 is the code as posted below


My 1972 W-30 is equipped that way. Good luck finding nice replacements.

 

Thank you for your help.
Replacements are hard to find ?

 

B80: = Molding, Roof Drip


as it shows online search, I don't think that's the same 'option?

I think the code for that rare door sill aluminum anodized molding is B85

 

Thanks for the correction. B85 not B80. My bad.

 

Replacements don't exist. You have to buy generic window "fuzzy" material and swap it out on your original trim pieces. My 70 W-30 has the B85 trim also.

 

Sounds like a cool option maybe worth using 3m adhesive and the 3/4" thick generic chrome molding?
Any pics would be welcome. I'm working on my 70. 442 as well.




Thanks

 

The door B85 molding is common to ALL Cutlass HT and vert coupes and 442. So finding donor moldings for the door shouldn't be that hard. BUT, the curved molding for the quarter is somewhat difficult to find, not impossible though. B85 also requires a special rubber component that attaches to the bottom of the anodized aluminum.

Here's a link to some that are currently listed on ePay. The dents can be removed, and the pieces will need to go to a shop for re-anodizing anyway. Steele Rubber makes repro fuzzies for this application IIRC.

Note: there is also a special B85 molding for post cars.

 

And 4257 Supreme body styles also. Years ago I had a 70 Supreme with the trim.

 

Thank you guys!
I appreciate all the info and feed back.
And to ah7910.... yes.. this is a very cool looking option.

 

thanks..
