Of the hundreds of pic I have of my rebuild, I don't have a good shot of that. If you bought replacement pieces they should be correct. | | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 1,271 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2003 Posts: 1,271 | I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about ... but might THIS help?

But the reproduction ones, which are the only ones available, do not. As you can see, they are just one long piece. You will need to cut some off. You did not ask, but if you are interested, the best way to attach them is with the smallest flat head screws you can find. The screwhead will vanish into the felt. Much easier than trying to attach with staples as original. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | 52GMC,
The ones I got from Jim Carter curve up at one end; the ones I received from Chevy Duty are straight.
As Brian said, the straight ones can be easily adapted; and, screwing them one is much easier than trying to staple them.

And screwing them in is definitely the way to go! Much easier ... plus, I plan on covering my trims with vinyl when I do my interior this Spring and Summer, and with those pieces screwed in, it makes it easy enough to remove them, cover the trim, and replace them.
