Ok so I guess they don't remanufacture the vent window chrome. How about the vertical chrome piece that goes on the back seat/passengers window that meets the front door window. Is that quarter glass? (if I said that right) It has felts in it and mine is totally shot. I don't think I can even save it to have it re-chromed later. what do I do?

You'll need two pieces per side-quarter window chrome molding and the quarter glass seal. I recommend the seal with the steel core instead of the all-rubber one, and I also recommend attaching the molding to the window with urethane adhesive instead of the rubber inserts.
These parts are available from many of the restoration houses, these pics are from Ground Up.

Thank you very much.

I'll have to see what I already have. I already bought all the seals/weather stripping that I could think of from Metro all at one time. Im not sure if i bought those of not.

Caution..the repro 1/4 window chrome does not fit that well

ugh. what else is new. I've think most of the repro parts for this car don't fit that well.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep the old ones to see if they can be re-chromed.
