B-pillar weatherstrip on a post 442

Does anyone have a picture of the inside of a B-pillar on a post car 442 (preferrably '68 or '69). It doesn't look like the weatherstrip along the door closes the gap from window frame to B-pillar In other words, it looks like water and debris will easily be getting in the car. I'm not sure what should go there.

Thanks.

Nothing goes there...at least not on a '70 and later car and I suspect the same is true for 68/69 post cars. There is a textured plastic piece that goes on the interior side but I doubt it has anything to do with sealing it up.

Hmm. Interesting. Do you know if the door weatherstrip is suppose to close the gap there? If it does, it'd have to be awfully thick--thicker than the rest of the weatherstrip around the door.

There's only the perimeter door w/strip on these post cars. I'll take a look at a '70 tomorrow just to verify and see if the strip is thicker along that vertical run.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I guess it's just a little odd to me as you can literally see space inside the car. The door otherwise fits and closes perfectly--like it's brand new.
