Ken -- Tore into it yesterday to see how extensive the damage was. Ordered the filler panel from AMD last night. I notice many of replacement panels did not have the original mounting tabs/points for the trim below glass -- AMDs panel included them.

Correct, the surface where the glass seals is a different angle for the 4 door versions - makes the glass sit more vertical.... ask me how I know.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

Thanks guys -- lots of 4drs down here but the 2drs are getting harder and harder to find. Word's out down here in South Texas that Novas are the cats meow. I may have to get creative with the sheet metal. I've done it before but takes so much time and work ... TAZ
