Default pinch welt and cap on 64

Is it correct that there is no welt on the 64 coupe, only the 64 cap? (see pictures below)
Would it be possible to install the 63 version ( cap and welt)? I kind of like the extra protection it gives to the bottom half door pillar.

If your door jamb fiberglass is original you can't fit the pinch welt on it? It has a pocket molded in it to fit the 1/4 molding trim in it and the cap finishes the top. If it is loose something else is wrong.

When I bought the car, there was no pinch and no welt. So I don't know what the original out of factory should be. In the zip catalog I find the pinch for the 64, but no welt for anything else than a 63....
Eventually , the 63 welt is the same for 64 model?

Post a picture of your door jamb and you may have 63 jambs or someone ground the flange off. No 64 could use pinch welt.
