I think i have a piece missing from my trim pieces. I have this gap as you can see from this picture: http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2139849230032470346ljEiiA
Is there a small piece that fits between the two? Cecil........

Yes there is a small piece missing and it's hard to come by. One of our fine 'Bolter's, J Lucas, sent me a pair. You can barely make it out in this photo. Its located on the door trim, the second screw from the right.

Thanks Don. I guess is off to the parts wanted section, with my fingers crossed. Cecil...........

I believe I sent some of these to a fellow bolter. I'd attempt to form this tiny little strip from sheet metal, same shape as what you have but with a screw hole.

I had one and had to make one. They aren't hard to fab. It's just a 1/2" wide piece of sheet metal that you bend to the contour of the door frame. The hardest part is gettig that little roll at the upper edge. I used a 1/4" dia. rod to bend the strip around then, formed the rest to to match the door frame. The outside edge just tucks in between the door and the window track. Drill a screw hole and your done.

Good Luck

Cecil - I removed the trim piece and took some photos for your reference should you care to fab the piece yourself. You can scroll through my Picasa Door Album to see the details. Hope this helps.

I also had one and needed one so I made the second. Very easy to do as they only hide the seam in between the two trim pieces.

I just bought & received a perfect repo set of these little covers from PHLOBE47 on ebay.

Thanks to everyone, i think i will just go ahead and make a set. They don't look that tough to make. Cecil..........
