What fills in this gap on the trim, or is this normal?
If there is a part missing whats it called and where to get it?

I believe that one has shrinked from the heat & old age...

Look at the other end of the trim you might find it there!

This trim is seriously expensive - the one bit I would say you might want to not take off your car for painting...

You aren't missing a piece, the rubber has just shrunk and broken apart. You can baby it or if you're into chasing wild geese, look around for a replacement, but the rubber and chrome are all one piece, expensive to replace and very hard to find.

I have an 84 and this happened to the passenger side.

Word of caution - you might want to make sure it's adhered really well, otherwise, if you're driving at high speed, the wind can whip it off. Happened to me and I was off the road quick - didn't want to lose the piece :D

Looks like both trim pieces are broken. The rear trim piece goes under the front. Yet the front seems to be broken too.

Here's mine for comparison:




Notice the indentation where the rear trim piece goes under the front. On yours this portion seems to be gone.
