Do you have the bow trim that attaches to the top? I'd take that part!

Had I known... I actually just sold that about a week ago to another member here. I'm in the middle of moving and I've been finding misc parts I intended to put on, removed from, or bought thinking would work on my car but didn't.

Re: FS: 87/88 Convertible Top Header Bow

The repop sucks. It doesn't have the center concaved screw hole drilled out and I'm trying to avoid repop junk if it all possible. There's actually 2 NOS gm 87-88 header trim garnish panels on eBay right now and a used one too but not one 89-92 style one at the moment

That's too bad the replicas suck.. I've seen the 87-88 headers but have never seen a bow trim for sale that wasn't cracked..

I'd be willing to try replica parts at this point because the ASC trim pieces seem even worse quality than the GM parts.. the plastic on these cars was not made to last..

The 87-88 tonneau release lever is a joke.. I've never seen one in person that wasn't glued back together..

I have a good tonneau release lever assembly from an 87 convertible.I think I have two #1 bow trims for 87-88 convertibles.Not sure if they are both cracked or not

You have the slider and the plastic housing that it sits in?

I'd buy any un-cracked slider and bow trim (part that attaches to the top with holes for the release handles) that you have for 87/88 vert

Let me know price, payment, shipping etc?

Do you still have the slider and plastic housing for sale? If so, can you send pics and pricing.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response! Do you happen to have a pic of the broken one, mine is broken also, the one you have might be better.
Thanks

Re: FS: 87/88 Convertible Top Header Bow

A little less broken than mine on my 88, but it looks like yours has the end broken off for the second screw. I might be able to make a whole one out of the two. How much shipped to 85339.
