Do you mean the metal trim or something else?

This is the trim it's chrome and covers the bottom of the vinyl top runs under the quarter windows and below the rear window trim . Goes from door openings to door openings and is above the trunk its metal and about a 1/4 in diameter and square held on with clips

That should be something that could be found in a JY. This Ebay seller unfortunately only has the upper chrome for the rear window but you could let him know what you are looking for. I assume the Laguna molding is the same as the Malibu?

I checked and nothing here in the wrecking yards. Nearest one is Fresno CA and may call them ? I was hoping some one on here may have one since most owners do away with vinyl tops

It's always a timing issue on these body parts that aren't reproed. Six months from now or six months ago there could be several available. Fortunately it's just cosmetic. If I see something I'll let you know. I would touch bases with the ebay seller I linked to,. He is the most consistent seller in terms of parting G3 cars I've run across.

I wrote him and said he didn't have any so back to the group

I'm trying to understand what you mean by "breaking" the trim. Are you talking about the interlocking tabs on the corner pcs breaking away from the center piece? I've got a few trim pcs that I might be able to help with, but not sure if they are from a '73 or '74-'77. Or, if they are all the same? Let's start by getting me a part number that is embossed on the backside of the corner pcs and I can check with what I have.

Looking at pictures of the rear window of 73 Lagunas it looks like the same metal trim I have on my 76 Malibu. I assumed he broke the tabs as it would hard to break the metal trim, although it could get bent I suppose.

It'snot the tabs or the posts . The piece is 5 pieces there are 3 are straight with a slight curve and 2 pieces that connect 3 of them . I wish I had a picture

Here's a picture of the rear window of a 73 Laguna. I believe he is referring to what is termed the belt line trim rather than the lower window trim.

Thank you that's what I am looking for the belt line !!! I just down loaded that same pic to show everyone . You saved the day !!!!

by 76Chevelle2Tone Yesterday at 10:15 pm

OK so where is the damage given the photo?

by Mcarlo77 Today at 12:44 am

I figured it was the belt line moldings, but am still confused as to what is broken if the tabs and mtg studs for what I call the corner bend pcs are intact. Those are usually the ones that turn brittle from age and break during removal because they are pot metal. So, to summarize you have the (2) side trims that extend from the door openings along the upper qtr panels that connect to (2) corner bend trim pieces that then connect to the (1) long trim that runs along the back between the rear window and trunk lid (5 pcs total).
