I guess I need to look at the remaining one on my waggy... :o I guess they aren't connected. If you install that patch and get a look at the photobucket pics, you can see the entire thing and how the guy fabricated the new one, my guess is you would be best to just patch what is there, post pics of your progress, and good luck. Anything can be done with enough money.

You're a braver man than I, looks like you have a handle on it, that is really bad. Keep up the good work, I am surprised by the amount above the windshield. Keep on rolling along!

I saw a 69 the other day it had drip rails on the sides.. But looking on google ive seen pics of 63 64 65 they look like they only have the top drip rail not the pillar one.

Here isa 65 on google.. No pillar drip rail

thank you, it is what i thought, no rail at the beginning but the upgrade went quickly may be cos it was not a good solution to have the water dripping on the top of the little window and surely entering the cabin,
what do you advise me to do ? install a rail on the pillars ?

Looks like you don't have the locking strip pushed into place. The outer surface should be relatively smooth when it's in place. The trim hooks on the bead just outside the glass and covers the joint.
