    I've been rebuilding a 1976 4-door Maverick, and I'd like to replace all the side trim... does anyone know of a place where you can order that?

    Thanks in advance.

    Well sorry to say, you'll have to scrounge it up from parts cars/NOS parts. Practically nothing for Maverick are reproduced today. Good luck.

    My esteemed colleague from California is correct. You need to try to either save what you have by buffing them with a buffing wheel, or look for decent used trim. NOS trim is very rare for these cars.

    Is your existing trim all that bad that they cannot be buffed and saved? I've made several worn pieces look pretty nice by careful use of a buffing wheel and rouge.

    One word buddy: EBAY. Really one of the best places to find Maverick parts, especially if you're located in an area where there aren't any in the junkyards.

    You never specified exactly which chrome trim pieces you needed so we could try to help you. Are you talking the LDO side panel trim that had a vinyl insert? The trim on the doors around the windows? The "swooshes" behind the rear side windows of the 2 doors? Try to be a bit descriptive so we can help you.

    It could also be the Thin Exterior trim with a black insert that some Mavericks/Comets came with.
