Hello,

Looking for the painted, textured steel exterior rear window trim for a 1969 Grand Prix with the vinyl top (70 - 71 the same?). Need the 2 bottom pieces, but will take a full set. I'm wanting rust free or solid with light surface rust.

Thanks,
Mike

The painted trim was used ONLY on a 69 with vinyl roof.

'69 - '70 GP rear window, and thus exterior stainless trim was the same as '68 - '72 Chevelle, and the '70 - '72 Monte Carlo. The '71 - '72 GP had a different rear window, to best of belief. I have original stainless trims, that could be repaired, and or refinished, but nothing that was painted or textured originally. Have heard that repros of window surround trims are of generally poor finish and fitment. Still a few outfits out there, that will repair original pieces.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know if any of the other A bodies would interchange, although I now think that the '69 GP trim is unique for the vinyl top version. Fortunately, I located a decent set of textured trim. It just needs to be cleaned up and repainted. I only needed the bottom left trim (I think the bottom right one is in good shape) but since this trim seems to be difficult to find in decent condition, I jumped on the full set.
