Flying Ace 10 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 As I was pulling the windshield triim off, I noticed that the inside windshield pillar trim has a beveled screw opening at the top to conveniently hide a screw, but no holes drilled in the pillar?? Instead, a screw is about an inch and a half down as shown in the pic. Is this normal? It's like this on both sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlimeGold 69 15 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 I would guess that these are not the original trim parts for your car. I bet they are off a fastback or a coupe hence the beveled hole that is not used and it would probably line up on another body style. It looks like they have been cut on the ends from the picture you posted to make them fit. I'm not sure if the pillar trim for a vert would be unique for that aplication. Maybe some of the vert owners could help you on that one with some pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pakrat 1,043 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 I think Slimes assumption may be correct. My trim piece only has one hole at the top where your screw is and no beveled hole higher up. Is yours metal or does it just look that way in the pic? Mine are plastic with ford part numbers C9ZB-7603598-AW-R.H. and C9ZB-7603599-AW-L.H. All 3 body styles actually have a different part for this. A couple of the vendors carry a repro of this now for the vert in either plastic or fiberglass and they go for about $125 a pair.

Flying Ace 10 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 I'll take a closer look tomorrow and check the part numbers if they're on them. They are plastic. I thought it was strange that there were no holes at the top in the frame for a trim screw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Ace 10 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 CJ's repros look about the same but no hole at the very top. The goofy screw placement looks the same. The CP and FB's are not even close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Checked mine and they are labeled C9ZB-760398-EW-R.H. and C9ZB-7603599-EW-L.H. EW vs AW is the only difference...hmmmm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pakrat 1,043 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 Well that is weird, maybe it's a plant number where the part gets made. Sonce your car is a 70 and not a 69 like mine I would have thought the difference would have been your first two digits being a D0 instead of a C9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Ace 10 Report post Posted July 16, 2007 From what I understand, after the part number is the revision number which starts with A, then B, etc.. and when they go through all of the letters of the alphabet, it's supposed to start with AA, AB, etc.. Hard to believe there were that many revisions, something is goofy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
