The links in your post didn't work, so I went to your gallery and assumed the second to last pic is the piece your talking about. That's the upper (center) inside front windshield trim. For the heck of it, I looked for one and couldn't find that particular piece carried by any of the usual vendors. The side pieces were no problem to find (A-pillar trim pieces L&R). But any 78-87 G-body cars should have that same piece. Monte Carlos and Malibus are a definite match, not sure on the Olds Cutlass and Buick Regals, but they most likely match also...should be able to find one at any good sized boneyard fairly easy...maybe even the same color, if not spray dye it. If I'm not mistaken, the one in my Elky is metal not plastic...I can check if you'd like. Those pieces get brittle (caused by UV rays)...if that piece is brittle you can bet the A pillar pieces are probably the same. I've also seen used trim pieces on Ebay from time to time.
