I just purchased a 71 Cutlass convertible this weekend. Last year I completed the restoration of a 1970 Chevelle and found that I needed something new to work on.
Anyway... making up a list of parts that I need. One half of the chrome that runs around the rear pinchweld (along the base of the top) is damaged. I don't see it in any of the repop catalogs so I will need to locate an original. What is this chrome called? Its tough finding stuff when you don't know what to call it.

Thanks, Dan

Howdy,
The proper name in the parts catalog is a dust boot retainer but everybody calls them convertible pinchweld moldings.
OPG has them repop.

So this molding is the same for all A-Body convertibles?

 

OPG lists the same part number for buick gs, chevelle & cutlass, so they ~should~ be the same for those. Only difference is that for buick, it says 3 piece, but part # is the same...
