Does anyone have photos and dimensions of 1932 top moulding?

[Chuck Kuntz]

I think I have one that I removed from a 32 tudor many years ago but am not sure. I am currently working on a 33 tudor and also wonder if they were the same.
Thanks for any help on this.

Does the trim you have in hand look like it would be right for the '33 you have in hand??

I don't know yet as they really smeared black sealant on the roof of the 33.

The steel trim surrounding the soft top? is about 0.75 W x 0.28" tall In the center of the metal trim is a channel for rubber filler to cover attachment screws and nails heads.

The '32 and '33-'34 top insert moldings differ in a fundamental way in that the '32 moldings are tacked into the wood beneath the perimeter of the wood underneath the opening in the steel roof whereas the '33-'34 moldings consist of two parts.

As there is no wood directly beneath the perimeter of the opening in the '33-'34 steel roofs there necessarily a u-shaped channel attached to the edges of the roof opening in which originally was filled with compressed waterproof paper to hold the tacks securing first the top material and second the outer molding which is similar to that used on '32s, but it is about twice as wide. Sorry, but I do not have those width dimensions handy nor do I have a photo of the inner u-shaped '33-'34 channel . The photos below are the '32 molding on the left and the outer '33-'34 molding on the right.
