wind lace
I am reinstalling the windlace, in my 31 S/W 4 dr.
the interior headers hang below the door opening and thus put the bulb of the windlace out in the air. Question: the covered headers should be (below) or (right on) the door opening. It is a almost new Le Boner interior. hope photos will assist in answers. First time I did it my way and was not pretty.

Re: wind lace
Yes but joint. the tubing is cut to length while the material is left long, so it can be tucked in. The photo is from my 28 tudor
