    I know that this may be beating a dead horse, but I'm looking for a trunk filler panel for a 1971 GS hardtop. Preferably new, repop ok. I've found plenty for convertibles, but it seems that no one is making one for the hardtops. Any help is appreciated!!!

    From what I've learned on this forum site, they are different as far as rear window shape is concerned. I would think that if they were the same, they would be readily available. You can get Chevelle pieces easily, just rebadge it for a Buick and double the price...lol

    They are different. The whole bottom channel that the glass sits in is totally different.

    I have one but had cut the ends for the hinge pockets for a customer, rest is rust free

    If you are talking about the exterior panel between the rear window and the trunk lid then yes it is a Buick only piece and is reproduced.

    The reproduction is beautiful, and there is one on my 69 car. The panel fits 68-72 cars.

    Someone makes just the 3 lower window channel pieces as well if you wanted to splice them and not replace whole panel.

    As the 70 - 72 Chevelle and Skylark share many parts (side glass, door guts, roof skin and trunk lid) it would be easy to assume the piece is the same. But skylark and chevelle use different rear windows hence the difference.
