Re: Single Piece Trim Panel vs Padded Arm Rest Extension

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

"Single piece" trim panels used in '82 and '83 are actually
traditional two piece padded designs with a vacuum formed skin over
them. Eventually suffer from same wear & tear as original, though
certainly not as fast.

James Espey has considered manufacturing true single piece trim
panels, but at this time demand is estimated far below tooling costs.
