69 convertible, What am I missing?

I just got this 69 convertible and it is missing some parts near the rear window. If it rains its going to leak into the trunk, how does the drain system work? Is there some guttering missing? Also anything else you guys might see missing or need attention would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You are missing the plastic C shaped rain gutter. It screws into the bump outs that you can see in the first picture. It looks like there may be a small part of it still attached in one of the positions? They sell them new for around $200+ in catalogs. I have a couple usable ones for much less. They often crack or break where they are screwed to the car but with a washer &/or a little ingenuity they could easily be used. Shipping will be expensive as they are not heavy but are large bulky parts to ship. It looks like you may be missing your top boot slide rail also. That is the thin metal piece that the front of the top boot slides into at the top of the rear seat. I think I have some of those also. I'm in Indianapolis.

Most convertibles have what's called a well liner to protect the top from items in the trunk when the tops down. It looks like you don't have it. It needs to go in before the top goes on.

Ok yes the rain gutter. Does the rain drain down the front of the rear fender wells into a hole in the floor? I dont have the top boot slide either. Also I didnt see any remains of the rain gutter. I live in Oklahoma City, OK. I might be interested in those parts if you have them. Like you said shipping probably wont be cheap. Ive dropped so much cash into this car in the last couple weeks its making my head spin I wont waste your time with "maybes" and "well I dont knows" so let me get with my supplier (Brothers Automotive Products) for some prices on repops before you work up any prices, that is if your interested in shipping. Thanks Oldspackrat for the reply!

How about $120.00 total for the slightly damaged rain gutter & the slightly bent but repairable boot rail plus shipping? I would guess shipping will be $50.00-$100.00 due to the size of the package??? Also it will take me a week or two to find or make the right box to get this stuff to you safely. Here are some pix, call with any questions?
