1976 cutlass 442 interior trim

Hi guys, the interior trim on my '76 cutlass is worn and need to be replaced. Here are some pictures on what I am talking about.

So, at which store (online store) I can find new trim for my car? I didn't found at OPGI what I'm looking for. Or, can they be restored?

OPGI, On line store, you're a funny guy! Nobody makes it. You will have to find it used. You will never find good white pieces. You will have to dye usable pieces white. Black pieces usually have held up the best through the years. Your plastic trim is mostly missing, rotted away. How could this possibly be restored? I'm pretty sure I have the piece that goes above the rear window. I'll have to look in the attic. It's black and will have to be dyed. Also I MIGHT have a set of A pillar plastic trim pieces, If I do they are blue and will have to be dyed, and possibly seat belt retractor covers, green, will have to be dyed. I'll look around the attic when I get the Christmas lights down the weekend and get some pictures if you are interested. The 4 rear quarter window trim pieces are hard to find in nice shape and I got over $250 for the last nice set I sold. Good luck with the search.

Wow, thats junk! Ive been myself searching now and then parts for my interior, but mine has just some minor rotting, and it looks good when looking further, so im not in a hurry.

BUT, texxas aint 100% right. The Parts Place actually sells A-pillar moldings, black - paint to match. Part-numbers are IN3863Z for left, and IN3864Z for right.

But thats it, they, and no-one else carries nothing else ( as ive found- until someone else corrects me), except coat-hooks etc minor stuff.

So far it's a no on the seat belt retractor covers. They are 1974 Impala and too large. Didn't know about the A pillars being made. That's great!

For whatever reason, the lighter color trim pieces are way more susceptible to becoming brittle and breaking apart.


Dark colors survived the best, and will be your best bet to find in decent condition.


To redye, SEM products seem to hold up the best, but make sure you CLEAN and CLEAN and CLEAN the parts first!! Did I mention they should be clean?


Good luck!
