Hey everybody I need a little bit of help here for my 1990 Cadillac Brougham D'Elegance. I am trying to locate two parts for this car as I am nearing my completed restoration for this car. Okay first part is on the front inner fenders between the actual inner fender and the fender itself there is suppost to be like a felt type piece maybe not felt but some sort of a softer material insert between this location and usually when they get old and you try to take them off they deteriorate in your hand basicly well guess what these ones did just that when I started this project. So is there anyone out there that knows what these pieces are called or have any extra they want to sell or know where I can get them they are a pretty fragile piece from what I gather and tear rather easily..

Ok now the next piece I need is on the drivers side front door. The chrome that runs flat along the top of the door itself where the rubber weather piece rubs on the window when it goes up and down that flat chrome piece is two pieces there is a shorter piece towards the front of the door comes back maybe a 6 7 inches and stops right around the mirror on the door and if you open the drivers side front door there is a philips head screw that holds the front of that price to the door. Mine has a small dent in the top of it and I am trying to locate this small piece if anyone knows where I can get one or if someone has one they would consider selling I would greatly appreciate it. Please if anyone can help with either of these parts please respond on here or call me at 814 504 1205 Thank you to all who read these and any helpful info that you can pass along to me.   Best wishes to all Eric

Not really sure what you are referring to in the first part.  Is this the rubber sheeting at the "A" arm or along the fender molding and the inner fender itself? 

As for the second part:  That entire molding is one piece and came with the rubber window sweeper attached.  They were available NOS up to a couple years ago as I ordered one.  Not sure if they are still around.

I'll ask Craig Wexelblatt who is the 5 Liter Chapter director.

The first piece actually goes in the inner wheel well and it seems as though it goes from the chrome wheel well molding into the inner fender and covers any gap that is there and makes it look more closed off and sealed, I wish I had a picture to show what I mean its hard to describe what it looks like but yes it is in the front wheel wells and wraps around the wheel opening.

The second part I didnt know was all one piece because I had looked at a couple of Broughams that I was lucky enough to find in the salvage yards around here but that piece was already gone. Any ideas on where I could look for one of these pieces?
