What is this called?

What is the name of the small triangular piece of trim covering the lower corner of the side rear window glass, and where can I get one?

Clear, concise, brief. Nice, now that I know what to call it, I can start searching for one.

Black Dragon Automotive calls it a "Trim-Quarter Window". At $59.95 they lost their minds.

Hey, I could use one of those too! If you find a lower cost source for it, please inform us. I'm looking for the passenger side one.

OO, I'll email atlantarx7 and see if they have any. I'll get back to you on this one.

You may use 3m automotive double stick tape as the plastic tabs may break off...
It has held mine on for over 1 year.

I agree on the junkyard, but the rx7 parts disappear real quick. You have to be the first to get to them. A lot cheaper though. There is a pick n pull nearby with 2 rx7s. They are the most barren empty shells in the whole yard.

I'll tell you from experience up here in the bay area that any FB or SA you find has those pieces either gone or broken off already...

I needed to get a few for my car a while back lol

I haven't seen the car in over two weeks now, so I am not positive, I think it's driver's side. Short story: it's getting a professional tranny rebuild, and they are waiting for parts. Long story: see my introduction in the noob section. https://www.rx7club.com/introduce-yourself-254/3rd-rx7-new-board-786459/

Eureka. My 9 year old, Josh, had taken some photos of the RX7 when he got a new digital camera, before the car went to the shop. We dug them up and they show that it clearly needs the passenger side trim plate.

I'll keep an eye open for one for you, next time I hit the boneyards. There's a small chance I may have an old one in a box somewhere, but it's not too likely - not on my inventory sheet.
