Hey Dave,
That gap is there to drain water/rain. If you look under the car in that general area you'll find a corresponding opening in the body panels where the water flows out.
Ok I thought that but it just looks funny
Thanks
Dave
I put those pieces on as well over the weekend. Be thankful you don't have vinyl. :brickwall:
The left side fit "fairly" tight, and should only let in a trickle of water, but the right side has a large gap, especially under the curve where the belt trim should lay flat. That gap was disturbing enough that I put in a thin foam dam.
My drip rail on the right side was noticably wider than the left, in the area your pics shows. :shruggy:
It's no wonder some of these cars rusted from the inside out.

It's a wonder they're still around.
thanks for the answers guys
What is that rivet for??
I think I may seal this off with some soft body calk from the inside
I can not see how this could do any harm

Who knows what Ma MOPAR had in mind here but before youse guys seal up that gap do more research on it. :Twocents:

I downloaded some pics tonight.
Notice the rail width difference from left to right? I don't know if that has anything to do with my gi-normous gap on the right side, but I could
not get that thing on tighter.
twodko....I here what you're sayin'......but being able to see inside the car from there can't be a good thing.
