Window garnish molding differences?

[5window]

Well, much to my chagrin and continued frustration, I have "misplaced one of my '31 coupe's window garnish moldings. I am continuing to rack my senior brain as well as rechecking every cranny of the 350 square foot shop the car is in.

I fear that I will need to buy another-fortunately Fall Carlisle and Hershey are coming up. But, I don't know how to distinguish among the various offerings.

I'd gratefully appreciate any illustrations, pictures or measurements helping me to get the right part for my '31.

Thanks.

Sorry. Passenger side-door. Guess I could take the good one off and carry it around.?

Hi, 5 Window; As unattractive as carrying a garnish around with you may sound, that's exactly what I would recommend. A few years back, I too was looking for the same garnishes for my '30 coupe. I found a nice set labled for a '30 coupe at Hershey. Once I got 'em home - not even close . I guess you could take a tape measure and jot down the correct dimensions from the one you have. Just don't trust the label/tags.

Very good advice but I FOUND IT! Lots of people had looked with me but it ended up in my youngest daughter's bedroom amidst her Smurf collection?

She's grown and gone, but the parts had been up there curing after painting two years ago. Last night, the suggestion was made by my mother in law-who hadn't been upstairs for several years and didn't know there had ever been parts there. Divine intervention? Or, Sherlock Homes-'...when you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'?

That's funny. Good thing the garnish wasn't blue, or you'd have never found it.

Glad you found it. Myself I usually find my stuff hiding in plain site.

It's always in the last place you look, isn't it? Me? I usually find the missing item AFTER I purchased a replacement.

Quick question about door garnish moldings. '31 Coupe, are the drivers side and passengers side interchangeable?
