    Default 83 Mustang convertible shoulder strap trim piece?

    New guy here. I am working on this car for my grandson. 83 Mustang GLX, 3.8l, convertible. This car was built in 2/83 and I need the trim piece that attaches to the inner quarter panel, both sides. I have tried all of the pony car parts people I know and a couple of local junk yards with no success. Any help or guidance is appreciated.Name:  trim piece1.jpg

    Thanks for the lead. I did call them and they checked and found that this part has not been reproduced as yet. They referred me to a couple of junk yards and we came up empty. Any other thoughts or guidance is appreciated!

    Definitely 1 year only design. Saw one in a junkyard last year and noticed how different it was than my ‘84.

    Good luck with your search.
