Re: Chevrolet Malibu sedan 4 doors need parts
Welcome to the forum! Hopefully, people on here can offer some help in locating these hard-to-find parts.
First off, let's clarify some things:
1) Will you be working with a Freight Broker/Forwarder here in the U.S. to ship these parts to Russia? I doubt anyone on here has experience or capability to properly box and document a shipment of this size directly to you.
2) Regarding the door glass and windshield...are you willing to accept used glass that has light scratches... and, in the case of the windshield, usual pitting in the glass from road debris? I've pulled door glass for a few guys on here and it becomes very subjective as to what is considered a good piece of glass. And, since it's near impossible to photograph the inevitable scratches you find on used glass, I personally wouldn't want to take the chance shipping something to Russia and risk it not being to your liking. Plus, it's no small task properly packaging it so it doesn't become broken in transit.
3) By "two round headlights"...are you only needing the headlight bulbs? Or, the headlight housings with the bulbs?
4) Regarding the door seal weatherstrips...you're going to want new if you can find them. Try OPGI.com...I believe they have the 4 pieces of upper roof rail w/strips and at least the front lower door w/strips.
5) As for the radio...do you want an original AM, AM-FM, or AM-FM-8 Track?
6) By rear shelf...do you mean the finish trim panel or, the metal support structure that lies underneath it?

Re: Chevrolet Malibu sedan 4 doors need parts
I was thinking maybe you would be better of finding parts in sweden. There is a Big tradition for USA cars in sweden and therefor alot of used parts availeble. Im guessing it would be easier for you to get parts send from sweden as it is alot closer to you via Finland. Try and have a look at blocket.se or do a google search for us parts sweden. Just a thought.
Im from Copenhagen and know how difficult and expensive it is to have parts send from the us, i am however lucky that i have a large dealer of used parts close i can order parts from. You are welcome to email them and see if they are willing to help you with parts. Try and google trimo usadele.dk
I hope you find what you need. Henrik.

Re: Chevrolet Malibu sedan 4 doors need parts
Can source the headlight assemblies if still looking. Bulb, Bucket, Ring, and hardware - meaning ring to bucket screws. Any bulb would be tested before shipment. Those should still be available new, btw. Might also be able to find LF door glass. As above poster (Mcarlo77) states, used glass is very subjective. One person's find is another's garbage. Have found over in over twenty five years of parts selling, used glass is extremly hard, if not near impossible to sell.

Re: Chevrolet Malibu sedan 4 doors need parts
One thing to note on the front windshield of the 4 doors and station wagons is that there are shorter than the 2 door models by an inch or so. This also applies to the windshield trim.
