CHP paint break at the C Pillar
My 82 no longer has the external c pillar trim. I wasn't sure that the car had it, but while removing the sail panels, I found another stud that turned and revealed a ground down mounting stud and filled hole. I'm guessing it would have been one of the mounting points for the vinyl top(?) trim between the c pillar and the quarter panel. Did all 82's have this? If so, what are these pieces called, because I'll need to throw up wanted ads on FEP, etc...?

Jason,
The '82s had those, and you are right about them being moldings for the vinyl trim. I found a set NOS, but they were the last pieces Green Sales had on hand at the time. I don't remember the part number, but I will try to look it up for you in one of my parts books, or see if I can find the paperwork for mine (they are out in storage).

Thanks Mike,
As long as I am thinking of it, is the door sticker intact on your car? The bottom part of mine is legible, but the top part is almost all black, and I need the information from the top panel to have one repro'd.

My door sticker is like that also. How bad is yours?
Here is a pic of the molding. I have a box of my CHP stuff in my office and I forgot these were in there. 18A is pictured, 19A for the drivers side.

I'll shoot a picture tomorrow, but the top pane of mine is illegible, but the bottom is fine.

Green Sales had the 18A but not the 19A.
