I surely need a favor from one of you convertible(`54) guys.Would someone please take a fairly closeup picture of your car that shows the area from the back door jamb towards the trunk,where the top meets the body, with the chrome strip centered,a width of about 18 inchs(and 8-10 inchs above and below the chrome strip)..The area just under the 1/4 window and back a ways....Hopefully a pic with top up and a pic with top down.I`m finally putting a new top on my convt.(after 30 yrs) with a new pump and top cylinders,etc.....The PO kind of butchered this part of the car(???) and I want to make it look neat and original..I`ll post a before and after pic once job is finished....I would be MOST grateful....Thanks in advance,Morris

You may want to post a "before" pic to show what photo you are wanting. Don't know about others, but I got lost in your description.

My stainless isn't installed on mine. You want a picture of the outside of the car correct?

I don't have a top on my car- not sure if these pics will help, but in any case here you go.

Eplantage needed a pic of a convertible top snap screw, here they are for anyone else that might need them. Overall length just shy of an inch, head diameter just shy of 4 tenths of an inch. Undersize probably due to rust deterioration!
