    Top of wheel well, inside trunk-'65 convertible

    Inside my trunk, at the top of each wheel well, is a seam flange.  Covering that flange is a black plastic channel that slides down over the flanged seam.  One of my channels is missing.  Anyone know where to find them or should I just try to find something generic.

    I got mine from Virginia Mustang, but most mustang shops carry them.

    I am pretty sure that the only seam that gets covered is the left one, it,s there to protect baggage and such, on the right side is the tire, so one not needed.

    Why is there never enough time to do it right, but always time to do it over!

    Yep BadCat, I just got that news from CJPony.  The ad said for the 'left' so I asked him why.  He said they did not put one on the spare tire side but they would both be the same.  Somewhere along the line, 35 years ago, when I painted and detailed my trunk, I probably installed the one that I had on the right side so that I could mount up the spare and not have to remove it later when I got an additional strip.  It never dawned on me that it ever only came with one.
