Smile Noob Questions

Hi all, just picked up a 98 Sport 2 Dr 5 Speed in Chili Pepper Red Pearl and was looking for some help in finding any company that offers replacement seat skins and cushions. I'm realizing many parts are available for 4 dr but very few for 2 dr versions since they are more rare. 2 Drs need to folds over to get access to rear seats, and 4 dr seats don't have the locking latch. Also my door moldings are chewed up a bit and all I've found so far are shorter 4 dr moldings.

Also looking for the rear window vent latch bolt as it lost its original plastic coating and is now starting to rust. Apparently the vent window is a rare option as well?

I would look locally for a auto/boat upholstery shop for your cushions and stuff. I doubt you can find a complete set or any online. The u pull yards might have a better set, but its used stuff so who knows.
Go to Cruiser54's web site, aptly named cruiser54.com or check this link: http://cruiser54.com/?page_id=365 where he has a list of technical details. Toward the bottom of the page is a link to a 98 parts book. See if you can find the part number to the item you seek and then use your favorite search engine to
check the web for it. It is probably pretty uncommon but thats the way it goes. Having a vehicle that is about to turn 25 years old makes the search tough! Mine is turning 27 at the first of the year!. Good Luck and let us know how you come along!

Here's a company... Richmond Auto Upholstery I can't take the credit for this link.. It was given to me in my build thread... But it's good to know something is available..
