Good luck. I've had my vert for over 2 years and I'm still looking for some of the vert specific parts.

eBay will be about the only place you'll find many of the convertible specific parts. Be prepared with your checkbook to pay for these items as if they were gold plated. Many items such as the rear trunk trim pieces through 1990 are actually coupe pieces that have been modified to fit around the convertible reinforcements. Your best bet is to find someone local that has a complete 'vert interior so you can see what pieces you are missing and how to modify any items that may be from a coupe originally. You will soon discover why IMO it is a FAR better strategy to pay a bit more up-front for up a complete convertible without any missing or broken pieces rather than trying to "restore" one that you got for what you thought was a good price. Some items which have a crack such as the abs molded plastic trim surrounding the windshield header can be repaired fairly easily. You do so by roughening up the interior of the trim piece, then forming some thin aluminum strips to match the inner profile and epoxy them in place over the crackd area. Then fill the crack with bondo and painting to match. Good luck with your search.
