Body moldings
 

I have a stupid question...it concerns the molding for the door and that small, short piece of molding in front of the rear wheel well.

Are those parts specific to a ZR-1, or are they the same as a non-ZR-1 car?

TIA

Re: Body moldings
 

These pieces are referred to as rear quarter moldings are specific to ZR-1s and replacements are about as easy to find as dragon's teeth.
They are prone to fall victim exiting pant pockets.

The ZR-1 part is about 5/16" shorter than the L98 car's. You might be able to adapt the L98 part ...

100% correct the dogleg is ZR-1 specific

How about the door molding?:dontknow:

I measured both cars' drivers side doors at the bottom of the molding and they're both 50-7/8" long. Given that the ZR-1 door begins to flare outward about half-way back, I expected the ZR-1 molding to be slightly longer, but now I'm not sure. Check part numbers with GM to be sure.

Thanks guys for your input!:thumbsup:


Guess I'll have to do some digging beyond the parts CD that I have. The body section illustrations indicate that the P/N's between the std C4 & our cars are different on one set of illustrations vs another set of illustrations. These damn 90's are a PIA!:mrgreen:

I have a L98 Rear 1/4 ,molding on the driverside and the ZR-1 on passengerside

yes the L98 is a touch longer, but you would never notice it. I have the original damaged DS one I need to fix.

As for the doors, I am thinking my DS Door has L98 molding cause it is not full length, I will need to check again and will check my parts book

Well according to the parts book.. Doors are the same with ZR-1 and NON ZR-1

Jeff, I really do thank you for taking time to post up your findings!:thumbsup:


The only parts illustrations source that I have is the CD I got from Limey and it usually is very helpful. However the body section seems a bit contradictory where the 90's are covered in two separate pages and I get two seperate answers to the W/ZR1 vs w/o zr1 moldings.:dontknow:

I was just trying to help Lou ( louispf ) out as some one hit his driver's door and took out that small 1/4 molding infront of the rr wheel and nailed the door molding badly & made a hole in the door skin.
