Theres a junk yard in MN that has a bunch of wagons. I dont remember who posted the name of the place but the info is in a thread on this site. Someone will probably post the name of the place by the end of the day.
Three years ago I got the aluminum trim off of two wagons at a local yard that was closing up. One complete set that I used on my car and one side of the second car just to keep as a spare. Both wagons at the yard had the back glass still in them. One of them actually had extra glass in the back cargo area. If I remember correctly there were at least two sets. I thought about buying a set to have just in case I ever needed it but the guy wanted stupid money for the stuff. One day I went back just before they closed and they crushed that wagon with all the glass still in the back. What a waste.

What year is your wagon? Does it have the stick-on quarter glass mouldings or the aluminum type? I'm assuming the stick-on crap. That stuff can't be reused because it usually breaks apart when trying to remove it...plus it's no longer available from GM. That's why many guys go with the older style metal mouldings, but studs need to be added in order to hold the clips on.

Happens a lot the guys running the junk yards they don't care they just see it as another car.

So the weatherstrip around the hatch? The trim for the rear glass window, aka between the C and D pillars? I thought the windows are glued in? Do you have 82/83 with the non reuseable glued in seals and need the 78-81 trim?

I am heading to this yard this Thursday so if you need anything that is easily shipped I I can try to grab it. I just don't understand what the parts are you are looking for.

Yep to the above. If you can find a 81-83 wagon with the stick on stuff in great shape, I'd be all ears too. 78-80 has the aluminum trim, I'll probably go that route as well with mine unless I can figure out a way to re-do or replace mine. I peeled off one at junkyard that looked ok, it didn't come off nicely I'll put it that way. Mine is good shape except the plasti-chrome is peeled/faded/turned to rust color even though it's just rubber/plastic.

Paul,
The rubberized mouldings are usually compromised when you do find them. At least most of the ones that I've come across. Another possible solution is to fabricate your own using universal stick-on side trim. Even if you do go with the aluminum mouldings, you will most likely have to replace the plastic stripping that fits behind the moulding which is the same as what's used on windshield trim.

I think the OP is looking for the side glass not the trim unless he wants both.
Thats the junk yard I mentioned in my reply. They let you wander around that yard ? I would be there for days. Thats amazing.

Blake had mentioned that yard over the years. Looks like a lot of good candidates for quarter window trim.
