DAVES89 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I am looking for Buick rubber trunk mats in salvage yards. I thought they were in Park Avenues, but haven't found any. Any help on year and model Buick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mc_Reatta Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Negative on 99-03 Park Ave or Olds 88.Have you looked on eBay?http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=Buick+Reatta+trunk&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XBuick+Reatta+trunk+mat&_nkw=Buick+Reatta+trunk+mat&_sacat=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Thanks for the link. It is not what I am after. It is a black rubber mat with the Buick tri shield in the middle. I trimmed it to fit the Reatta's trunk. You will see it when I get down your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Accessory rubber Buick trunk mats were an option in the 60 & 70's, up through 67 they were called fawn (brown) in 68 (69 for sure) they went to black, still with the white Tri-shield in the center, at some point mid 70's more than likely 77 the style changed, they were lighter wight and Tri-Shield was black, not sure how long those lasted before they went to the ones with the GM logo.

wws944 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I am looking for Buick rubber trunk mats in salvage yards. I thought they were in Park Avenues, but haven't found any. Any help on year and model Buick?Did you see the one on ebay? He claims it is for '91-'96 Park Aves: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-91-96-Park-Avenue-ULTRA-Rear-Trunk-Rubber-Mat-Liner-w-LOGO-Emblem-/170760138135?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ABuick&hash=item27c218ed97&vxp=mtrA lot of times these mats and other accessories are "dealer installed options", rather than regular factory options. I bought a set of logo rubber mats for my Rendezvous from the dealer that were marketed the same way. My Suburban was the other way around. It came with vinyl mats. But in '97, the factory offered nicer carpeted ones as an option. So I bought a set of those for summer use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 That is the one. They trim very easy and then fit in the Reatta. While that is a fair price, anyone who shops U-Picks know that they can be bought for $10.00 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kick myself for walking by one a couple of years ago at Gibson's and not grabbing it. At the time I only had the Red [for summer] and the Black [for winter] so swapping the mats was easy. But now I have the 'vert and would like one for that. Oh well the search goes on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVES89 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 I just got it on Saturday. I had a guy on the Riv site who needed parts from Gibson's order it for me. I gave him a good deal on the parts and he allowed me to keep my dignity by paying for the mat and having it shipped to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 I just picked one up today at Wally's [another you pick yard near me]. Not sure if I want it. Anyone interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVES89 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 When it rains it pours. I was out at Gibson's today getting a tire jack for my brother's Buick Century when I saw a "fresh" Park Avenue [with keys]. Opened the trunk and found another mat. Right now with the issues I am having with the Black's tranny I will have one more mat then Reattas [Reattae?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
