Hi All,

Been awhile since I posted, but I have finally hit my worst fear. I have reached a bit of assembly work were I managed not to get a photo of a piece. I am baffled and hoping someone here can help me. Can't find any mention of it in the service manual.

CAR: 1940 Deluxe 26 Sedan 4 door

This is for the rear sliding quarter panel windows Driver/Passenger. I know that the Beltline weatherstrip gets shaped and attached to the car frame, then the window and slider assembly gets installed with the 3 screws, then you attach more Beltline weatherstrip to the interior trim piece and install that. Good so far.

My issue is when I took the car apart I had for both sides a thin piece of flexible metal (think slim jim ) attached to the parts (old Beltline weatherstrip and trim) of each of the windows. For the life of me I am not sure what the purpose of this thin strip of metal was. I can't find any screw holes in the frame that align with the holes in the metal. I have been through my hundreds of photos and some how I did not take a photo of this piece.

I have included a pic of the offending piece circled in red. If anyone has any idea what it is meant to do... I will be very grateful. Best I can guess maybe something to do with installing the upholstery?
