I keep seeing people talking about fly away panels. Can someone please explain to me what these are?

While I'm at it, what are door spears?

Fly away panels are the back trim on the rear doors of a RMW or a 91 OCC. The have a tendency to fly off with no notice at above 60 mph.

The door spears are the trim just below the mid point on the doors. They are usually found on base model Caprice wagons and sedans.

Call them what you will, they sail or fly away at about 60 mph. Then you have to get another one/set.

Oh, so since we have a 1994 RMW, we don't have them.

I see one in this picture. I understand now.

Looks like someone stuck Caprice or 92 OCC doors on your RMW.
