Trim piece for frt of top

Anyone know if you can still get anywhere the black plastic trim piece in front of the top, right behind the release handles? I saw a post on it before but it is gone now. Looked everywhere. The bozo that owned it before me tried to repair it with super glue Not quite sure what he was thinking......plastic.....super glue............

I would use thin gage aluminum pieces epoxied to the back side to repair it.

Probably not.....

The parts numbers are worth their weight in gold.

I have researched many part numbers with my local GM parts department, and one of the really cool things that they can do is to conduct a nationwide parts search through each dealer's individual parts data base.

I have found a few things that were not available anywhere else with this method.

The GM parts guys are worth being friends with!!
