    If the window sweeps aren't cracked or broken than I'd be interested in them. They're the rubber strips at the top of the doors pressed against the glass. They're held in by screws behind the glass.

    Also the fender indicators along with their fiberoptic cables, and the trunk lock cover if it's still there are good resale items.

    The window sweeps are junk.

    Really? The fender indicators? How are the cables routed, are they fairly easy to get to?
    Trunk lock was punched, I don't remeber the cover being there.

    People went crazy for the indicators for a while. They are one of those items that becomes popular and then fades and so on. I'm not sure how to pull physically them, but I know the cable runs from the indicator down to the turn signal housing.

    The cables come out quite easy from the sockets.
    Best is than to remove the complete set up by taking off the two studs (inside fender).
    Be easy on them when removing (and installing); the studs tend to break. Since the cables are fibre optics be careful not to bend them.
    Get the sockets as well; they're different than the standard sockets (standard sockets can be used, but you''d have to alter them a bit, like drill a whole in the socket)
