That would be great. I'm not sure how to get it any closer. Unless I start reaming holes in the stainless trim peaces. Then the top of the weatherstrip wouldn't even come close to the chrome corner pieces.

I was just adjusting the T top gaps, and that took a lot of work.
Hope this helps.
BTW yes it was wrecked, but is now in recovery. It is being restored now.

Not sure how "correct" this is, but I have a little bit of foam in between to help it look a little better, in my opinion anyway.

Just put my window trim back on yesterday and it has a gap similar to what is pictured... not huge, but it doesn't cover the frame the way it should... I like the idea of using the foam to fill in the gap, I may try it on mine for grins.

I probably will give mine a try as well. Is there a product out there or will this just be a homemade item? BTW…what part of ETX are you from, if you don't mind me asking?

They make some round/black foam used to seal (home) windows available in different diameters... It's cheap and available at hardware stores... probably about .50 per foot cost.
I'm gonna pic some up tomorrow when I go into town.
I'm near Canton just of I-20 on Hwy 64.

That's all it is. Quick and simple, and gives it a little more of a completed / finished look to it.

That is cool, I live in Tyler. My boss lives out in Canton. Her father in law is a Corvette guy. Well it sounds like something worth experimenting with then.
