I started fitting the rear trunk and decklid on my '59. The trunk lid fits pretty good as far as gaps and being flush with the rest of the body. The decklid fits well too except each front corner is down ~1/2" from the quarterpanel. See pics. Is this normal? Can I rely on the convertible top to push this area up to make it flush? I don't think there's a latch or bumpstop in this area like a C2 decklid.

Ken, the weatherstripping will hold that up.

and the conv top when folded will as well - Normal
The 59 I am doing fits like this as well
There is bump stops on the waterfall

Thanks guys. I put the weatherstripping on temporarily and that pushed it up maybe 1/4". Although the weatherstripping is hollow and squished down a lot so maybe I'll stick more rubber inside it to firm it up on the end.

wrong weatherstripping

I read about two different ones after my initial post. So who has the correct weatherstrip, corvette rubber?
