Default 82-B CCPU Wood Header Gap Under Visor

Hello All,

I've noticed that it is very typical to find a gap of exposed wood under the visor, and above the sheet metal panel. Is this correct, or should the wood be modified to close that gap? Seems odd that such a large gap would be present, but every car I look at seems to have it.

Thx, Scott

the wood is correct. the same welting that you use around your fenders. goes under the header cover and fill that area in.
