Need pics of the B-pillar U-moldings '70-'72 'vert, please!

Hi guys, could somebody with a '70-'72 Cutlass ragtop post a few good pictures of how the U-mouldings for the rear quarter windows are supposed to be installed? I'm not so sure my repro pieces fit quite right and how exactly the windlace fits into the picture.

Thanks for any help!

Yes, that's it. Thank you very much! It looks like the end of the windlace just kind of tucks under the interior panel, if I'm looking at that right.

Thanks again!

And by the way, that's a great looking car you have there!

Thanks. The more I've tinkered with it, I'm convinced the P.O. didn't really want to take the time to do things right.
BUT, I am having fun and don't mind correcting the shortfalls.

I also noticed that my pics for you show up alot smaller than when I first posted them. I resized them twice, but each time I submitted the edit, it didn't seem like it worked.
If you need something more, let me know.

Many thanks to Midrange for taking a new set of pics and e-mailing them to me. He really went above and beyond!

This is exactly what I was looking for as well. I have a '72 Supreme.(hardtop)I'm not sure how the front part of the rear panel rail and sweep fit with the pillar lock seal. Does it fit over the rubber( as it looks like in your picture) or is it supposed to be sandwiched between the rubber and the sheet metal on the body? There is a small hole on the rail where the screw holding the rubber to the sheet metal goes. I just didn't pay good enough attention when I took it apart a couple of years ago. Thanks, Chumley
