Hi, I noticed that I lost (or have been stolen ?) the little die cast moulding end point as shown on the picture. Any idea of where I can find one ? Or at least if one could telle me the exact name of a such part so that I can google it ? Thanks.
Those are aftermarket moldings and not OEM Buick. Probably dealer installed a long time ago. Where they came from is anyones best guess.
Brad, you killed my day ! should I understand that all convertibles centurions did not necessary have this side trim ? In this case I may consider to take it out since I plan to have the car re painted soon.
The factory body side mouldings were optional and I guarantee you those are not factory and as such, not all Centurions (convertible or not) had them. I bet you find they are screwed on or glued on...they certainly won't be using the factory attachments, which are nail-like welded on studs with plastic clips. Those moulding are way too thick...they stick out from the body too far. Sorry....
As stated above, they were optional and in my opinion the ones without are more attractive as the molding breaks the body lines.
If you hate door dings as much I do there is decent aftermarket that are almost indistinguishable from originals. And unlike Cadillac they are stick on so you can easily remove them if you don't like them. https://www.customautotrim.com/body-side-moldings/body-side-moldings/
