I am trying to take care of some details on my 48 Ford Convertible and need to know how the inside stainless bead fits in the center of the windshield at the top and bottom around the windshield garnish.

You might want to review this thread on the Ford Barn that began about wiper switches but includes a lot of discussion and pictures that might answer your question about the center windshield molding placement. http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64757 Old Henry (The older I get, the better old looks.)

The convertibles and station wagons use a piece of Stainless Steel trim that goes around the inside of the windshield moulding. The ends of the trim at the top and bottom have a small SS clip that holds the two pieces together so the stay in line and look good too. The attached photo shows how these pieces install. The clips are hard to find and I had mine made by the Sportsman Shop in Washington State. If you need the clips call Bob Brown on 1-360-724-3824. Bill Large

I used a piece of chrome fender welting to cover the ends of the windshield trim on my '47. I cut a piece to length, then inserted the ends of the trim, using some of the "web" to hold it under the garnish. It looks good, but Bill's is better.

Bill: Thanks for the information. It answers the question that I had. Mac McLeod
