Where to find 80/90 exterior trim replacements?

Solid20vq · 02-26-2012, 09:54 PM

Hey everybody I'm trying to clean up and restore the outside of my B3 90. I need to find a few parts, and am wondering if anybody knows where to find, or is willing to sell any of these exterior trim parts:

Door slot molding(s)
Protective molding (2 rear door, 1 front door)
Roof trim molding (passenger side rear)

Thanks for you time, let me know if you want to get rid of these parts.

Good luck! I'm doing the same. Are yours missing, damaged , or just old? I'll be rebuilding all mine. The metal strips in the lower molding rust and deform the rubber itself. So I'm trying to figure how to remove the band from the back, inserting another made of a diff. material and sealing it back up. The ends on these sometimes fall off and water gets in. I'm taking some flat stock black rubber and cutting to the side profile to make endcaps. I have to figure out the best bonding agent though. I'll post my results when I get around to it.

I've been looking with no luck too. Tip on the center moulding look for the trim from an 80 which would better as the 90 trim has metal in it which rusts just like the lower trims.

Dealer only if you want new and trim like the lower door moldings are in very short supply.
I replaced mine last year, all 4 and it was not cheap. All 4 pieces came from various dealers across the US/Can, some were dusty and from 2004.
Any trim is going to be old stock, I highly doubt anything fresh has been made in the past 8 years or so.

genuineaudiparts is a dealer in SD who sells wholesale.

Drop in your part number and see if they have it, you can also email them and they will respond if that item is available or NLA.
