Problems finding trim pieces

I'm trying to find the plastic, interior trim that goes around where the rear seat belt comes from (see pic).



Is this plastic trim specific to convertibles? Where do I find it?

Yes, that piece is unfortunatelly specific to convertibles. Hardtop and T-top cars have just a tiny slit in the sail panels for the seatbelt.

You can find these parts at most thirdgen sites, like Hawks. But expect them to be very pricey, just because the are "rare". For example here: http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/in...l?v=1&pid=5718

Hope this helps.

P.S.: Can you mold your own out of fiberglass maybe?

Thanks Lou. Rain stopped in Austin finally, eh?
