My "A pillar" interior trim/plastic pieces are brittle as hell, they are cracked in a few spots and I know I will have to pull these off eventually (need to do a heater core and maybe change the dash pad).
Are these specific to these cars and only an ASC part? or can I find a comparable year vert and pick some up?

A pillar plastics? Are they the same?

I'm pretty sure the A-Pillar covers are the same but maybe cut down at the top?
Changing out the Heater core is a major PITA, but it can be done. I would recommend watching some videos on YouTube about it. Also, it would be a good time to replace your AC evaporator while you're in there. I wish I would have replaced mine...
The good thing about the heater core drill is that you have to take everything out, so you get a chance to clean everything and put it back in.
You might as well replace your carpet if it is old.

Parts
Keep in mind most of the Ford parts are from the hatchback model not the convertible. The a pillars appear to be cut off and attached with paper based double sided tape at the top. Likely 79-86 to match the dash design.

Re: Parts
Thanks! I didn't think about them being from a hatch. Figured they could have started with a T-Top car but it does look like the doors were modified toosvo413 wrote:Keep in mind most of the Ford parts are from the hatchback model not the convertible.
