Alum. Sill Trim Availabilty
« on: November 17, 2004, 12:30:58 »
I'm referring to the larger inside piece that holds down the carpet and runs the length of the sill. Anyone know if this piece is out there? Mine is pretty beat-up looking. Thanks.

I know the outer piece is still available. Not sure about the inner piece that sits on top of the carpet.

I think I have a complete set in stock. They're getting harder to find like many things for older cars.

In 2001, ALL the exterior trim was available new.  Check with Caliber on availability.  I replated all my brass trim but all the aluminum trim was replaced completely.  I had no choice, really.

N.B. that aluminum sill trim takes a beating even with the most careful and casual use.  Tom Sargeant put a kind of clear masking protector over it to prevent it from getting scratched up.

I recently purchased a set from my local M/B dealer. I am not sure if it was in the US, or if they brought it from Germany, but I had it within 5 days. It should therefore still be in stock.

Thanks all. The K&K "outer" photo seems more like the shape of the one I was referring to -- but I would swear it is the inner I want. Big price difference -- so I better be sure...

 They have them backwards
 The info in the box is correct , but the arrow/lines are wrong
 just swap where the arrows point to and all conforms
