Malibu Interior panels

[DJLATIN]

Just put a new interior in the malibu but was trying to get a hold of dixiemontecarlo but that's like trying to win the lotto to get a hold of him to buy some panels for the interior. 🙁

Does anyone here speak to the man?

I need the lower door panels and the rear interior side panels. Anyone know of someone else who sells them?

The lower door panels should interchange with later 2 door G bodies, as should the B pillar door opening trim piece you seem to need. The color won't match, but there is always dye. As for the quarter window trims, your best bet may be E-Bay as these are rare pieces that deteriorated very quickly even when they were new. GM's 70's plastics were even worse than their 80's counterparts for the same car as they seem to have been made of a material that is excessively susceptible to UV light deterioration. My advice if you find an intact set is to have them vacuum formed with vinyl by Just Dashes. This will restore the grain pattern to them and make the surface a material that will not break down quickly in the presence of UV light.

I don't know about reproductions as I have never had need to spend that kind of money on interior parts. I can always find what I need in the junkyard and just rework it to suit my needs. Remember that the Malibu panels are shared with the similar 2 door Le Mans/Grand Am of the same years. I also wonder if the slope back Cutlass Salon and Buick Century models shared those quarter windows, but just differed on the trunk lids.

I would just keep calling dixie monte. they should answer sometime, they seem to be overpriced and just have "okay" products but sometimes there is nothing else
