Dear 1935-40 Convertible owners,

I’m ready to cut and install upper window channel on A pillar, top irons, and B and C pillars on my convertible sedan. (Yes, the originals are long gone from my car).

Could someone provide some photos or sketches of installed channels on their convertible coupe or sedan?

I’m unsure of lengths and how ends are mitered. I would like to duplicate it the way Henry did back in the day!

As always, thank you in advance!
Steve

Steve have you had any luck yet cutting and installing your stainless channels? Dan.

Very kind of you Don. I have a '40. Are your sketches for 35-36?
