Default Is something missing??

Take a look at these pictures and tell me if a piece of trim is missing. Looks to me like there should be a piece of trim covering the exposed inside door frame, but I've been looking through Ecklers catalog and can't seem to figure out what it is. If there is a piece that goes in there, can someone tell me what it's called??
Thanks.
KC

Looks like an ill fitting inner panel. There should be a black fuzzy piece on the door panel facing the inside of the glass and annother one mounted to the SS trim facing the outside of the glass. The outter one gets hard, shrinks and leaks and allows a lot of rain into the inner door which causes cancer, mine were Very Bad. Yours might be missing part of the trim, but mostly looks like the door panel just doesn't fit right

I agree, looks like the door panel is not down far enough. It should be latched onto the fingers you see in your photo. Here's a photo of my 71'

You gotta hook it over the top end right when you first put it on. Should catch on the fingers as he said.
