Does anyone have a photograph of how the windlace is terminated at the floor? Does it tuck under the door sill plates? Thank you all in advance.

I do not have a photo. However, once it (windlace) gets to the floor, remove the core and glue about 1 1/2" of the material (core removed) to the floor. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

As always, thank you sir. I assume that, the flattened portion of the windlace (with the core removed) tucks under the floor mat in front and the carpet in the rear?

Yes, under the mat and under the carpet... correct. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Photos attached. Follow Mike's excellent instructions/directions and your windlace installation should look something like this. Good luck and have a nice weekend. Tom

Thank you both for the information. Great photographs Tom-I will attempt to make mine look exactly like that! Thank you both again!

Any chance someone has a photo of the A-pillar, door frame, and B-pillar with trim materials attached? On the coupe I am working with, the customers car has no interior trim in place. Between the books recommended on the forum and what I can tell, it seems like a compact (u-channel style) windlace is pushed onto the metal pieces that are attached at the A-pillar and above the door frame, to finish off the headliner edge. Then, the B-pillar takes the foam core style windlace to the floor, fastened to a tack strip. I am trying to confirm this in order to buy the proper materials, thanks.

Does this help? The wind lace at the A pillar is under the u-channel that also serves to hold the cardboard panels in place. Mike "Kube" Kubarth This message was edited by kubes40 on 7-10-23 @ 1:50 PM

Can you tell from these pictures if I am missing any parts? The space between the A-pillar and kick panel on each side has no provision to secure the u-channel style windlace - does it just get forced into this space? That doesn't seem right to me but that's why I am asking! Thanks I realize the foam core style windlace was original but since this car is far from original I've had to improvise.

FirstRide, It appears you are missing the filler panels between the windshield and A pillar. The windlace is placed behind the cowl kick panel retainer. Originally it was nailed, yes, nailed. I glue the windlace in place. Mike "Kube" Kubarth
