    Hey all,
    My '88 LeSabre had a piece of the trim pop off last night (believe me, it's the most trivial thing with all the other damage to the car). Anyways, it's the aluminum piece that mounts under the rear air deflector/spoiler (if you will), above the tailgate. The two side pieces are ok, but it appears that the plastic clips that mount inside the trim strip and attach to the vehicle are all missing or broken. Anybody know where to get these? I can't find my stupid camera right now, so I can't even post a pic of these things. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    I know I have said it before and have read where other people have said it too, but when it comes to the much needed info, "You are da man!" Thanks a million, Norm! :2_thumbs_up_-_anima:clap::thumbs2:

    Hey Norman,
    I tried that site, didn't see what I'm looking for, got any other suggestions? They are mostly body mounts and the like, not the detail stuff. I appreciate the info and the assistance, thanks again in advance.

    Funny, cause they've got a pretty big catalog. Ok, try these:
    http://www.buick-parts.com/links.htm

    http://www.collectorsautosupply.com/parts-lists.htm

    And this should get the job done!
    http://www.justclippsauto.com/sampleboard04.htm

    http://www.justclippsauto.com/sampleboards.htm

    And this FOR SURE!

    Sorry you asked?:rofl2:

    My old man was a big guy - 285 lbs. and 6 foot tall. Gentle giant, until he got ticked off. Anyway, he used to say that "If anybody has the balls to ask, he's got the balls for the straight answer." Hope I didn't overload you.:rofl2:

    I had most of these posted in here, when I redid my own trim parts:

    I think that did it, now I've just got to double-check it, thanks a lot!

    Glad you pointed out the other site's lack of depth. I knew I had better ones, but I forgot where I posted them. Can't use bubblegum forever, right? :evilsmile:
