I am restoring an '85 and would like to replace the windshield reveal trim and the weatherstrip retainer pieces. The old pieces were bent in removal and the metal is stretched. Also, there is a lot of silicone that would take quite a while to remove. Lastly, the reveal trim paint is peeling. Since I have gone to the trouble to remove everything to do a quality paint job, I hate to put these old pieces back on the car. Therefore, I would prefer to buy new pieces.
The problem is that the dealer can't find a part number for the reveal trim. They have called a GM parts help line, which so far is a dead end. One of the dealer mechanics claims that the weatherstrip retainer is the only part around the windshield, but I know he is wrong. I suppose the reveal trim could come with the retainer as one part number, but that seems unlikely.
I heard somewhere these parts cost about $500, which if true will change my mind on restoring the old parts. I would at this point like to find out if they are still available and the cost. Any help is appreciated.
