A pillar weatherstrip extension
Isthis extension supposed to go here? It seems like it doesnt belong because there is already a channel right there...i dont even see the purpose...should i just trim it off at the bottom of the chrome strip?

My 68 has that extension
My 68 has that extension and is supposed to. I would guess it is supposed to channel water away from the door.
IMHO, I think I would check a vendor catalog and see when the a pillar weatherstrip changes.

Willcox used to have some photos comparing weatherstrips and how they installed on their site; haven't been able to find those for reference for installations.
