The interior pillars have "rolled" or shrunk over time it appears and metal is visible between them and the weather stripping. Will ordering new pillars fix this, or is that just the way it looks?

Unless the cars been damaged along the way, they shouldn't look like that . . .just about any of the forum sponsor companies- Willcox, Eckler, etc can fix you up with new - -or check the Parts For Sale section - -you might be able to pick up a good used pair . . .

Hi cd,
I believe it's normal to see a bit of the windshield pillar, but not too much.
I think this picture shows a typical amount of pillar.
Regards,
Alan

That's about what mine looks like. My theory is that with these cars if you get two parts too close together they either rattle or squeak.
