PWB Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 All, I found a complete rear quarter glass trim (with chrome!) for '67 to '69 Camaro/Firebirds here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quarter-Window-Vertical-Sash-Chrome-14pc-w-Seals-UJambs-67-68-69-Camaro-Firebird-/151716549780?hash=item235302d494:g:BtoAAOSwpDdVgJnm&vxp=mtr It looks SO similar to 2nd Gen. Riv trim. Does anyone know if this is compatible to a Riv? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68RIVGS Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 While they do look similar, the GM originals have different part numbers and they most likely will not fit your Riviera.Occasionally you do get lucky, and find similar items from other GM model years that will fit.

In this case you're looking at two different sized cars. If you've ever been in both the back seat of a Camaro and a Riviera, you can tell right away what a difference there is. Usually the interchangeable items have to do with corporate items, like windshields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWB Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Just got them measured - exactly 1.000 inch too short. Otherwise perfect.Does anyone sell these for us?Cost a fortune to re-chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68RIVGS Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The metal portion is not reproduced as far as I know, so your best bet is 'good used' from a parts car.I think they are the same for all 2nd generation cars, so there are a lot of used sources available in various condition. The rubber strip seals are reproduced, as are the door pillar seals from various sources.The steel used for the metal trim piece is prone to rusting, and the chrome plating did not stand the test of time either.You might try a 'parts wanted' post here, or over on v8buick.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Here ya' go. http://www.repops.com/product-search.cfm?ma=2&mo=40&yr=26 It says "Chevy / G.M." but I found them under Riviera. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68RIVGS Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 . . . don't think that's exactly what he's looking for Ed - trunk cardboard and window felts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Gotcha' I looked at the picture of the Camaro strips that he posted. He needs the seal between the door glass and the rear quarter window. If the chrome pieces are still in good shape, then any rubber the correct length with the correct profile could be slipped into the old chrome. On some of the first generation cars I've parted, I've seen various profiles for the rubber strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
