I don't know what they are really called, but the little metal things that go along the top corner of the door above the wing vents. I got ready to install mine, and realized that they have to be installed [/u]before[u] the wing vent assembly. So now I need to figure out if there is a way to do this without having to take the whole door/glass/vent assembly Getting that all installed was such a hassle I would really like to avoid it.
If anyone has dealt with this and has tips or tricks I like to hear them.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road. Tim
