Hi Ben. I looked at my early car this afternoon for you. I had forgotten, she hasn’t got any metal trims on the rear quarter windows, just the rubber. I can send you pictures if you like, but you would be better off getting pictures off someone with a 78 or 79 with the metal trims in place.
I can tell you though that the resr end piece is at an acute angle, about 45° and the C shaped piece that the 32 valve cars have i.e. 87S4 onwards will definitely not fit.
I did take some pictures though and of a couple of S2 cars here and an S4 to compare should you need them, but what are you really need is photos of a 78 or 79 with the metal trims in place.
All the best
Simon

I had completely forgotten, but now I remember… from the first time I bought a really early car. It was part disassembled and all the trim bits were loose in boxes and the guy told me he had had to source them specially and I’m pretty sure it was the rear quarter windows trim. Anyway, I will go and look at my 78 car tomorrow and all will be revealed.

>> Sure Ben. I will have a look for you and take a picture. I am still struggling to get rid of this horrible flu, it’s knocked me out for the last 2 1/2 weeks. So try to avoid catching it everybody. I cannot carry out a conversation for more than 20 seconds without breaking into a coughing fit! I am getting better, but still got an awful cough and only firing on 5 out of 8 cylinders, but I will try to do it for you tomorrow as it does not involve talking!
