Well unfortunately about a month ago someone broke into my car and stole my stereo. While doing this, they broke the instrument panel (the plastic trim for dash) and I can't seem to find this part anywhere.
I bought a new car and now I need to get the PA in good condition again so I can sell it. I went to a Buick dealer and they said the part has been discontinued. He gave me the #(25533334) and said it was the IP panel.
Anyone have any ideas where I can get this part? I really gotta sell this thing :(
Thanks in advance.

Parts recycler, aka junkyard. :thumbsup:
Should be the same between PA and Lesabre 86-91.

Went to a junkyard, most of them were broken. Even then, I'm not too sure how you even take the IP out without breaking it. Do you know how?

Yeah, they unfortunately arent' the best design, most were broke, mine atleast, by frustrated owners trying to stop rattles when it got really cold outside.
To clarify, we're talking about the simulated wood grain that covers the radio/climate control right? If so, there's the trim ring around the heater that 'pops' off and reveals 4 (if memory serves) torx screws that you remove, then gently push the panel toward the steering column, and slowly lift from the glove box side, and away she goes.
