Can somebody tell me where to get that grommet for the glove box swing arm. 1970 GS. Going crazy trying to find it with no luck! Finally finishing my interior after being apart for 25 years. Thanks, Gary
That's a tough one. No repops available and a lot of the originals are dried up. You'll have to find a good used one
I posted this in another thread: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?175495-Rubber-Stop-for-Glove-Box-Lid-Arm/page2& >>Steele Rubber makes the 50-53 Caddy ones. It 'looks' like the 4440369 in my '66 GS but I have to compare dimensions. http://www.steelerubber.com/glovebox-door-check-grommet-70-1704-88 Also sold on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1950-1951-1...m487ed1aba2:m:m2Eia3Z_w-tMlkloTg_FjIg&vxp=mtr I haven't verified if it's a correct replacement.....
It is rectanglular. I ordered one from the 61-63 Buicks. I will let you know if it fits or needs a little modification. Thanks for the help. Gary
In post #4, Glen, aka 'Mr Big' said his '70 also used the 4440369.... same as '66. The repo replaces pn 4573883. The dimensions shown are damn close to my original, within 1/16".... likely just shrinkage over the past 50 years. I see what you mean by 'rectangular'. The Steele repo is rounded at the ends. It's not perfect but might work. This might be the best choice out there....
Actually my original was rounded on one end and flat on the other. I will order this one also and see. thanks, Gary
[TABLE="width: 80%"] <tbody>[TR] [TD]I realize it is an older thread, but folks may run across it looking for the same items. I just ordered the glove box door rubber stuff from "CaddyDaddy" caddydaddy.com Door grommet 70-1704-88 door bumpers 33-0128-88RS Check bumper 70-1459-88 The items show the measurements on the details page. There is a minimum order of $25. I also received an email questioning my application since it the parts were listed for different year Cadillacs, and I explained they were for a Buick Skylark and I understood I was rolling the dice. There are quite a few parts I could not find elsewhere so I search various makes and models and try different "nomenclature" in hunting things down. The parts I received are correct for my '64, and hopefully others can find some items there. [/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] </tbody>[/TABLE]
