Checkerboard Comet Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Hey guys, I have a parts request, which is exclusive to only the 1985 GL model. I'd like to get a set of the interior door (front) upper vinyl coated armrests for moms car. She has the 1985 version, and this part is different because the outside side mirrors are mounted to the body......not through the window like the 1986-1994 ones. The 1985 one doesnt have part of it cutout for the triangle plastic cover section. The vinyl condition is not important, I only need the raw plastic molded parts......since Ill have them reupholstered with new vinyl anyway. I have a picture of my old 1986 one, but the part I need MUST be from the 1985 model only. Any of you got a set to sell? I'll take the rear set too if you have them as well.

Turkeyberry Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Are we talking about the top brown part that has the door lock on it? Or the part the is attached on the fabric part next to the window handle. I have an 85 and might be able to help depending on what part you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checkerboard Comet Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Im talking about the armrest part, where your arm goes if the window is down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have front and rears from an ‘84 L series sedan. But I’m in Oz and postage can be a killer when leaving our country... if you need/want them though I can check out postage options.

Regards Bennie It has to be a 1985 model though. This part was in this specific design for that one year only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyberry Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I have a 85 GL wagon and my panel looks exactly like yours I'll post a picture in a bit. Do you have a picture of the 85 panels you are looking for? I could model mine and 3d print a set it would take time mostly but would be "new" and not expensive. Depending on if they are what you are looking for or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not following what the difference is. The ‘84 had the window mounted on the door panel too. And my ‘88 that I daily doesn’t have any cut out in the upper arm rest for the triangle piece that covers the mirror mount above the door line. You have caught my curiosity on this one.

Checkerboard Comet Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) I'll try to snap a pic of moms car tomorrow without her knowing. If she sees me, she will know I'm up to something....lol. I'd like to replace hers with a new uphostered/restored one. But she gets weird about modifying her original stuff, so wouldn't let me do it to hers. Which is why I want to just get another one and fix up that one. The vinyl on hers is turning to dust now on the top from years of sun damage. I'll post a pic of the one that came out of mine showing the difference for that triangle piece tomorrow, you'll see what I'm talking about.

The parts car that has the piece on it is an hour’s drive away at my parent’s farm. Earliest at this stage would be next weekend. If your mum gets suss - use some BS magic that a forum member is curious about the 85 model door setup with the mirror. Be sure to then take some exterior pics too Cheers Bennie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checkerboard Comet Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Yes, those are what I need! Here is my old one, see the cutout and raised edge for the inside triangle cover plate? Please PM me, I'll want all 4 of them (front and rear) with the rubber window parts that are screwed into them. I'm in Seattle. Edited November 17, 2019 by Checkerboard Comet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_freddo Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Yeah I see what you’re talking about with the triangle trim piece. And I’ve never seen side mirrors like that. I’m sure our ‘84 side mirrors are different - alabit trashed since the car was stolen and driven through a cyclone fence (years ago now!) nope, they’re the same style. LHS mirror is gone.

Checkerboard Comet Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Looks like the same as the 85, but are the rear ones the same as a wagon? Moms is the wagon. Edited November 17, 2019 by Checkerboard Comet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 The only difference I know in the door between the sedan and wagon is the glass. Everything else is interchangable. Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
