Default What's the name of this missing body part?

Is it the same as the part number shown on this website? I can't tell


Thanks

Don't quote me but it does look to be the same part although it is not clear how far up it goes alongside of the windshield.

It looks like a piece of the outer body covers it. However yours looks like the outer cover piece is broken, so I'm not sure why you're asking about the inner piece.

Please do tell.

I agree that is the part but light Titanium is the color. Your car looks blue to me. The piece will fit but it won’t be a color match. Maybe a “pick a part wrecking yard “ might have what you need.

It looks like the part on a four door goes to the top between the doors.

The piece you show might be the inside piece. The outside piece on a four door is quite long. They want $150-$200 used for an A pillar piece on Car-part.com in my area.

I want the outer part that's broken. That's called the A Pillar? Or is it called something else?

My car is actually green. I was thinking of getting it from a salvage yard if I can find the year, make and model. It'll likely be a different color so i was expecting to paint it if so.

The picture shows a broken outer body part on the A pillar. If your car is a sedan then look at sedans. Looks like Ions are the same all years, the Coupes will be different from the sedans on those pieces. Car-part.com and search your area. Wrecking yards pay to list their cars online. It helps, some show pictures and colors also. I have purchased many parts through this site.

it's a sedan. Here is a listing I found on a site that supposedly sells OEM GM parts. Not really sure it's the actual part tho. The first image I attached initially was around the same price
