I need to find a place that sells the rubber insert trim that fits in the chrome strips on the sides of my car. The original stuff is pretty faded now. Do any of the site sponsors sell this stuff?

I am researching this right now for the restoration of my 87T with chrome trim. The best I have come up with is to take a piece of the molding to an autobody supply store and match it up in a catalog.

I have found a couple that are "close" to my Burgandy color...

Two types of side molding were common. The factory installed moldings are glue on. Chrome plastic top and bottom with a color keyed vinyl insert in center all one piece. They were never used on the rear of quarter panel. Dealer add on moldings used a aluminum channel that was rivited to body. Chrome end tips were inserted into ends to finish it off. A color keyed insert was sliped into channel. The insert would fade and shrink with age. These were sold by a company called P&S. They sell detail supplies to car dealers in a mobil truck. They can be found in the phone book or you can see if your local dealer uses them.
