Hi Brian. Is you roof rail stripping OEM? It doesn't look like my brother's 70 Shelby does. It fits differently around the door jamb end and window. I don't have pictures of his car and I should take some to send them. Part of my problem is the rubber location in respect to the chrome "C" molding. In order to make the rubber fit up against the "C" molding, like my original rubber did, causes the rubber to be too far away from the interior fiber glass back seat panel. If I locate the rubber inward, where it will fit up to the fiber glass panel, then I get a good size gap between the "C" molding and the rubber. I see the gap in the pictures you sent. It's like the rubber weather strip is too narrow at this point. My "C" chrome molding is in the proper place and it looks to be the same dimensions as my old OEM molding. I don't know. Maybe I'm being too picky. I'll guess I should get everything to fit the best I can and then get out the caulking gun. I have talked to three restoration shops and they said they have had issues every time they have installed these. I was told Daniel Carpenter makes these for everyone. The rubber is of good quality, it's just the fit.
Just talking about my car. The quarter window ' C ' chrome needs to move toward the glass at least 1/4". The other side, see picture, ' C ' chrome is in about the right place at the front and to far to the outside going back. So the location of that piece of chrome trim seems to be the place to be doing the adjustments. Yes my rubber is OE C9ZB 65519A DX FoMoCo. Brian
OK I think I get it. The pivot's square boot sandwich's the fiberglass quarter panel ? So somewhere below the fiberglass square cut-out should be a rubber boot ? The next time that Q-panel is off I will be checking it out. Brian
