65-68? Rear window, inside corner trim wanted.
Permalink  

Desperately seeking a right hand rear window trim corner. 2 door sedan 65 and 66 for sure. Maybe 67-68. Possibly 4 door sedan as well?

Super hard to find as the sun basically consumed these pieces. Not reproduced, only the sides and tops and the connecting clip are.

If I could somehow, I would get them reopped and rule the market. but how?

 

Any and all help appreciated....

I wonder if a 66 HT corner could be made to work?

Similar shape, metal, easy to trim and reshape a little.

What do you think?

Anyone have a pair 65-66?

Yes you did, it doesn't resemble it at all.

Oh well. I knew it was a 90 degree piece but thought you might be able to modify/ cut to make what you need. You need a 3-D printer.

I'm actually going to look into a 3D printing of it tomorrow.

If it can be done at a reasonable cost, I'll get a few of each side made up.

I've got the left hand side part in at a 3D printing company.

They say it can be done. Can do the mirror image as well. He's digitizing it right now and will get back to me.

I'd assume you guys might be interested in this tech, so I'll keep everyone in the loop on this. The hope is to make more than a few right and left sides available.

 Yeah but he might notice...

And they're the wrong colour too.

Not that I think the part number will help find any but it looks like 4427888 and 4427889 are the two pieces you're hunting.  They don't have them illustrated in the parts book but if you put that number in google you'll see Wiki listing the parts page for 65-66 sedan (Chevrolet).

Thanks for the clear shots Carl,

Big shoutout and thanks to Don (bigdreams) for snagging me two metal corner trims from a 65 Impala 4 door sedan, obviously well on it's way to the mill (images). Thank you Don!

Ahhh! There IS a slight difference between the metal 4 door and plastic 2 door part...the screw hole is in a slightly different spot between the two. Shape is identical though. I bet they would interchange with no mods anyway. I'll make them work.

Same headliner, rear surround trim and rear glass and package tray on the 65-66 Sedans, so why the different corners? Perhaps the roof at the sail panels were styled a little different? Slightly wider/narrower?

But if need be, it's always an easy fix when you deal with metal isn't it...

 

Plastic top,

Easy restore? Look at that green paint under the decklid, shame!

Don pulled them out of here!

That is most interesting. As you say, same glass, same outside trim etc. I wonder why.....?

And here are the old parts Don sent done up,

With the screw hole being in a slightly different spot....should be easy to remedy. Just drill a new hole in the lower inside trim to accommodate the difference.

Cheers.

Are you sure you can live with the fact that that there will be an empty screw hole under each corner trim piece??? biggrin
