hi,

i have a 76 98. While pulling it into a new storage garage, i got too close to the side of the garage and bent the end of the side molding out - the silver strip on the side that runs the length of the car. Are these difficult to find and replace or can i repair the damaged one?

Thanks.

 

The piece is stainless steel. If it's not torn it can be restored but takes a lot of time and patience. What's also important is whether you damaged the side metal and clip that holds the molding onto the car. Don't know if they're difficult to find but I can point you to a guy who knows; his name is John and he's into the big Ninety Eights like yours in a 'big' way.

use body hammers or a pick hammer carefully deep side first and work your way out carefully then really polish it if the piece is not mangled or torn. also consider double sided tape and use acording to the directions to apply.

 

hey miho is it a 2 or 4 door? i have some 4 door parts including the stainless door moldings

 

djcrook73 - it's a 4 door. the one on the back door is bent and the one on the front door slides back and forth when i open the door.

 

i have them, pm me and i'll help you out. i'll warn you in advance, i work two jobs all week and saturdays so i take my time getting back/pulling parts

 

Hey djcrook73,

i have this forum post https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...australia.html

Im in tricky situation as i live in Australia and parts for a 76 98 is beyond anything to find here. John told me to contact you regarding parts. I have a red interior (mahogany as John told me) the rear left is good but the rest not soo good. Im also in need of chrome moldings for windscreens front and back and also the one the sits on top of the side windows on the right side as a tree fell on my car Im also in need of a rear right window regulator and a door latch lock mechanism for the rear left door.

Any help would be so greatful!
