I own two 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier LS convertibles which I bought new�an automatic for my wife (160k miles) and a stick for myself (95k). Unfortunately my pristine stick recently got totaled in an accident. (Not my fault. I�m OK.) Every exterior light and body-panel (except the doors) was destroyed, and the airbags deployed which cracked the windshield. I bought a 1998 Cavalier Z-24 convertible (74k miles) as a replacement. I am temporarily keeping the wrecked 1996 convertible at my house to scavenge for parts�especially convertible specific parts. (A longer explanation of my saga and decision is at the bottom if anyone cares.)

Other than the following, does anybody know the convertible-specific parts (relative to a 2-door hardtop)?

AFAIK, the convertible-specific, scavengable parts are:
� Anything to do with the roof (like frame, canvas, motors, latches, switches, bow, trim, etc.)
� Anything to do with the doors, inside & out, including the side mirrors.
� Anything to do with the windows (like glass, regulators, motors, and sector gears).
� Front seat belts.
� Weather strips.
� Visors.
� Rear interior side panels (I think).
� Side rocker panels (Not sure, but I�ll pull them and their clips).

Not sure about:
� Dashboard
� Center console
� Front seats
� Back seats


FYI only:
I had hoped to keep both of our 1996 Cavalier LS convertibles for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, while driving to get a smog-test, the highway traffic in front of me suddenly came to a stop for some unknown reason. I stopped too, and then looked in my mirror with horror as the guy behind me hit me at ~50 mph, pushing me ~15 feet into the car in front of me. I looked into buying other convertibles as replacements (Mustang, Camaro, Solara, Audi, BMW, etc.) but that era Cavalier convertible is such a perfect solution for me here in 12-month-convertible-weather Silicon Valley, CA (a true-5-seater that easily fits in my garage and has low-insurance, good reliability, low-repair costs, etc.) So I flew to San Diego and bought the only available Cavalier convertible west of Michigan�a 1998 Z-24 convertible automatic (74k miles). The other guy�s insurance company totaled my car but only offered me $400 more if they kept the wreck for salvage instead of me keeping it. So I kept the car to scavenge�especially for the convertible parts which are difficult to find. (The tires alone were brand new and worth $450.) Then I�ll have it towed to a salvage yard for $100.
