Default C1: Door Post to Windshield Post Gap

1960
What is an acceptable/normal gap between the Windshield post and the Door post. Measuring in the middle, between both posts.
Thanks
DG

Wally..... you said
1/4 inch is way too much
. So...how does 3/16" sound???? I don't get it????? You're picture has no relevance to to the OP's question. The picture that I posted has a gap of a little less than 1/4". Why is that WAY too much???

I thought it was the verticle gap and not the corner ......my pictures with the flash did not come out very good as the light bounced back to the camera......... I agree Mike it will be ok......i`ll go stand in the corner now or.....::

Looks fine to me, but I'm not an expert. But keep an eye on where the chrome door column goes down and mounts inside the door. The fiberglass is prone to cracks right around the chrome.
