I actually found some parts that fit.....I put in the quarter window jamb seals and the rear window seals....they actually fit......



But.....I ran into some other issues that should have taken 5 minutes and ended up taking a day to fix.....just for what it's worth....the GM speed nuts (the sheet metal ones) that hold the rear quarter extensions on, are made with two slits that form the self cutting thread into the stud and tightens the unit to the quarter......I bought some repro ones that had only one slit....no big deal.....So...I had a heck of a time getting these things to screew all the way down the stud......they would just spin in place and after pushing on them I finally got them tightened up..........then I realized that I got ahead of myself and installed the quarter extensions without the trim piece installed.......Darn!!.....Took a couple of hours inside the trunk to get them off again,.....(The two GM nuts I had came right off).......after getting them off I took a threading die and cut a 1/4-20 thread on the studs and just used regular nuts....Simple thing ....8 Nuts......should have been ten minutes total time and ended up taking two days and a lot of frustration...........Be careful with those stupid little nuts...
Now.....I get out the repro trim kit that I bought from an company that specilaizes in Impala stuff....Get out the Quarter extension trim and open a bag the had &quot;Quarter trim fasteners&quot; on it.......I take the little trim clips and slide them into the trim and install them on the extension........Humm....on the inside of the extension, there wasn't any room for the nut as it was right next to the lip on the QE........Darn!!........I find some smaller nuts and just get them to fit....I couldn't get a socket on the nut cause there wasn't any room....so I spend an hour with a open end wrench snugging them up.....Double darn!!!......I keep thinking to myself.......I know GM was smarter than this as this was the Stupidest thing I have ever seen.......As I start installing the QE again....at least I can now put them on iun a minute with the studs threaded.....as I install the first one.....the trim pops off at the bend and the trim clip is now out of the trim.....I put a little pressure on the other one and it pops off also......WTF!!......I take everything apart again.........I just happen to look thru the other bag for the side trim and I see some plastic push clips made for a round hole.....I install them and push the trim on....Bingo!!.......I knew GM wouldn't do something so stupid ....so...stupid me ......but.....If the repro place would have included the right clips and some instructions it would have made things a lot easier.....Anyhow....the trim is on...








Got the trunk seal installed and also received the new harnesses from Lecric-Limited and changed out the rear lamp harness...I also found out the back ordered rims are in and I should have all the wheels and tires installed next week...





My original Perfect Nu Yawk Survivor Car harness in the garbage....
