Trim retainer needed

[ratlee2]

I have been searching for the stainless trim retainer for the piece just above the rear window. I am talking about the one for the ~4 ft long piece that goes between the s-shaped rear pillar molding. I have the trim, but KGAP told me they don't make the retainer. I also sent a sample about a year ago to Dellis Hudson and heard no response. Anyone had any better luck?

that one should be an easy find-----the retainer is rarely deteriorated much and is the easiest trim piece to remove and reinstall on a Hudson.

This place has so much stuff maybe you will find what you need. Good luck, Ron

I actually have found that to be one of the more tougher trim prieces to get off the 54 hudsons due heavy rust from the retainers sitting horizontal

On a 54 it is more difficult since the trim piece itself is narrower and fits tighter in general.

I guess it's only true for 52-53
