Yep, that was a term my Dad used when I was a kid referring to the trim around his "63 Dart's headlamps.

Have you ever heard of the knobs on a stove referred to as handles? That's what the parts lookup called them back when.

Yeah, a buddy of mine used to call them doors. I think it's a junkyard term.

A very common term, used in some parts books as well.  PK
