Next trim pieces are for across the top of the windscreen. Original size is laying on the top, but felt it was out of scale with the A pillar covers I had made. So going to piece together offcuts from the door window trims.


As luck would have it the trim was the perfect size to support the windscreen seal and hook around and protect the front edge of the headliner!


I have cut the end to follow the profile of the A pillar trim and left just enough of the curve to match the headliner.


Ended up having to join 3 pieces together for each half. Had to shape it around the centre console and allow for the wiring loom to the mirror.


Covered it in matching trim to the A pillar.


Can see the upper and lower clips I made for the centre bar. The screws go right through the trim to the back of the outside centre bar and clamp it all together. The windscreen is now supported all the way around.


At sitting height very little of the trim is seen, but frames the windscreen nicely I think. I left the bottom trim stock width as it has the defrost louver in it and didn't want to reduce the depth of the dash anymore visually or cover the side window defrost vents.

Marcus, it looks like it's coming soon. Note, didn't you put the steering wheel on the other side?
Of course good work as always.

Steering is on the 'Right" side.

Good choice. Does this mean it's going for paint and you're not going to cruise in bare metal?

Marcus color looks good. The idea that you're going to take it apart again and reassemble it ...... my hands and head hurt.

On the home run now. It's a good idea to have a 'Shakedown' run. The problems are ironed out before paint. The color suits

Still hoping to go to a few events. Wanted paint nailed down so then I can drive to different shops to get a quote with as many variables taken care of.
