Hi,
The wiper tray area was pretty carelessly done in St.Louis.
That being said:

Here are a couple of photos of the tray with the parts in it but no black-out.
This is an interesting appearance but not typical of the way cars were.

Here are couple of photos of the same tray with black-out on it, so more typical of production.

The application of the various sealers used in this area was much more roughly done than in these photos.

If you need to see something else... please ask!
Regards,
Alan






















After Black-out:
