Re: Door area trim?
Closing the big hole around the bottom of the glass is Clark's C7832 Door Pillar Rubber and screws C6915 on page 219 of their catalog. The 4 holes closer to the interior are for the Door Wedges C9541 on page 226, and Plastic Finish Pieces C516R and C517R with screws C6402 page 231 (cover the top of the welting and the exposed steel flange at the top). The finish pieces are repro and do not generally fit perfectly. NOS parts if can be found are better. With some trimming and fitting the repros can be made to fit reasonably but they are certainly weaker than the NOS parts.

Whoever painted the car left several items off. Thanks.

You were right, the repro parts don't fit and I paid big bucks for them. Got to find somewhere to shop other than Clarks.

Clark's has the only repro and it is what it is. No one else will have anything better. NOS or good used is the best fit on this part. Thank goodness most of Clark's repro parts are perfect or excellent.

There is a possibility that OPGI will have these parts soon, that is if you want to wait, but they may not be any better.

Guys,
Do the door pillar rubber flaps install from the back of the pillar, filling the rectangular opening and held in place by the two screws from the front? (I searched for a photo of a completed door pillar but found nothing.)

Yes they go inside retain thru the steel by the screws.

Re: Door area trim?
I didn't trust my assumption. I dropped one flap down under the window. Took me 2 hrs to fish it out using my antenna mast with a wad of gorilla tape on the end.
