Patrick91914 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I believe that's called a sail panel. Have you tried the dealer? If it's fabric covered, then plan B would be to contact an upholstery shop to see if it can be repaired. If painted perhaps you can remove it and paint it yourself.

trudy Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Thanks, Patrick. It's fabric.I don't have good luck with the two Buick dealers in this area, I get "that old? We'll never find a part for a car that old." Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Contrary to popular belief, 1992 is a NEW car to most of us on here. For that matter, if it has a computer it's a new car.A good upholstery and trim shop will be able to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trudy Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Thanks, Glenn. This is actually my late Mom's car. My own car is a 1969 Mustang. It's beyond me why people buy new cars instead of fixing the old ones.p.s. Glad you weren't hurt when poor Bambi took out your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmazcol Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Sorry to hear about your loss. I would make sure before you address the upholstery issues you have the rear glass checked for leaks. That is my guess what is occurring there.A good trim shop can do that repair no problem once you are sure the glass is not leaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Sometimes called a rear headliner quarter panel. I can't tell from the photo if it is separate or if it is sewn to the headliner. If separate, maybe a new piece of headliner can be glued to the panel. If part of the headliner, the entire headliner must come out and be changed.Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I can tell you that a good auto fabric shop can help you. You should be able to snap out the panel by its self without taking the headliner out. The fabric is usually foam backed. Just clean off the old fabric and use some spray trim adhesive on the board and fabric and stick it together. It is contact cement in a spray can. If you need a supplier for the fabric, send me a pm and I can give you the name of the store I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
