outer belt molding-79 mustang

[Gandalf79]

Ok , I am looking for this piece of trim for my 79 mustang. It is the outer belt moulding for the doors. I ordered a pair from LMR that were supposed to be compatible with my year but they are about 4" short. The new ones barely come to the mirror
Any idea where to get this trim piece (I would take a used piece as of now!) I am in Mass.

Are you sure they sent you the correct ones? Do they look like the picture on LMR's site?

79-86 and 87-93 are completely different. I would call LMR and see if they accidentally sent you the 87-93.

 

[85GTStangGuy]

Or could they be for a vert?

Did you buy the weather strip kit for $50 0r weather strip and trim kit for $120? Not sure if they changed it between 79-81 but all ways used the Fairchild Kit with both but they list that as 81-86. KF2042 about $130 on rock auto.

I bought the kit for $120 that says 79-86 but they may have sent the wrong ones. They had me send pictures with dimensions on original trim piece and the ones they sent. They were about 4" shorter. Hopefully they have the others because it's hard to find ones that arent all dry and cracked.

I found those through Rock Auto . They don't specify product dimensions though. I am going to have to call them to find out. Mine are 46"

Same thing I think lmr is selling.... The 2031 is just the outer trim & weather strip, 2042 is outer and inner, there not like the 87-93, where its sold as 3 separate peices per door, except DC now sells the outer rubber weather strip that clips into the trim. but most of the original trims are trashed and as far as I know no one sells just the trim minus the weather strip on it, just fairchild's version of it. Pretty easy to tell them apart, as the trim has the angled section that sits behind / under the mirror.

Looks like no one repops 79-82 style..
That's the kit everyone sells as 79-86 but the trim is different from 79-82 if you look at them closely.

Upper door belt line trim advice needed

Recently acquired a 79’ notchback but it is missing the upper belt line outer trim piec on both sides. I have not been able to locate aftermarket replacements and wondered if anyone had a source. Or what years are compatible so I could look for some off a parts car? Thanks in advance

Might want to hit up 4eyepride or some face book groups for them see if anyone has any used in decent shape.

Looks like I got the wrong name of the part Im looking for. Im looking for the trim that runs along the top of the door on the outside, not against the window. See the part that is coming up off the top of the door near the handle? It goes from one end of the door to the other by the A pillar

 

[Gandalf79]

I found the parts on eBay by chance
The guy was calling it door rail trim
Got both doors and quarter windows

 

[rednotch]

the moldings where a trim package up until 84 I think? as far as I know no one has remade them. See them on ghia cars too either in black or chrome. Lots of odd ball stuff the first few production years that's hard to find, at least you got figured out.

 

[Gandalf79]

Found a set with quarter panel trim on eBay that seems like it’s going to be what I’m looking for
Fingers crossed and thank you all with your advice!
