'70-72 Convertible Rear Upper Panel---donor piece needed

I'm looking for a D side upper "rail" or interior panel filler piece from a '70-72 Cutlass Convertible. This is the white plastic/fiberglass piece that the vinyl on this rear "door" panel is wrapped around.

>I need one in nice to very good condition... as nice as possible. These things can get broken up from the original staples being run through them and later rough handling. Mine is broken up somewhat and I'm trying to avoid a bunch of repair work on it.

>See the pic below for a view of these upper "rails".

>Be patient....I will require a VERY CLOSE and detailed description of the piece and be able to send clear detailed pics. These things can develop stress cracks which are hard to see unless the part is real clean.

>However, one with some minor stress cracks may be OK as long as the part is strong and intact in the area that the inner sweeper is stapled to...that's the most critical area as far as integrity and installation. You can see in my pic where a few pieces of this sweeper/dropoff area are missing and broken. Still--I prefer one with minimal to no damage.


I checked with Legendary and they don't make repros of this part....is anyone aware of another outfit that may be repro'ng this part??
Thanks.

I have heard of no repros of these so far; not sure why not.
Mine had some minor breaks which did not affect looks or installation so I was able to reuse 'em.

Patton,
I have read your post & I think I have a piece you might want. Here is a link to pix I just took. If you're interested, give me a call & I can look at any area you want & get more pictures also. I have not removed the vinyl yet, but can if you want.
Thanks.
