Is there a difference in the landau filler panel and regular malibu filler panel, the panel behind the back glass?

I don't believe the actual panel is different...well it does have the tabs on top for the chrome trim the Landau had...

knock the tabs off and you're good to go.

I've got one...where are you located? I also have seen (a while back) something similar to a stud gun that welds these nubs onto any piece of metal. So, if you have a regular filler panel, with careful measurement, you COULD make one. But, the cost of the gun is probably super-expensive. I'll see if I can put a picture up here today.

If you mean the filler panel between the bottom of the back window & the trunk lid, IIRC the Landau also had a window trim peice with a grain to it & it got painted to match the vinyl top...

Found my filler panel. I can take some pics of it tomorrow and post them here. I know you said you needed one from a Landau, but mine was from a full vinyl top car. I don't know if those little tabs are welded in the correct place for the Landau trim piece. Anybody know for sure? :-k

Yes, the filler panel is the same shape between all the coupes. But, is the position of the mounting tabs that are welded on the filler panel in the same position between the landau and full vinyl top models is what I'm asking. If so, then my vinyl top filler panel will work for his landau top coupe, and accomodate his trim piece.
