'41 Missing interior parts > Pictures
Hi ,
thank's for answering my question concerning the key lock on the passenger side.
Here are some pictures of my dashboard sides, as you can see there are some holes, from the factory ( I guess) , and I wonder if there is a trim part missing?
Any ideas?
Best regards,Gabby.

Well I have a 47 Ford that still has some of the original weather stripping around the doors. I think that is what those holes are for, here are a few pics.
Looks like the holes are for some sort of "Brads" or Riviets.
Hope this Helps

Hey RedSkin,
First off Welcome to FTE.
Second I love your name = my favorite team.
Third, and most important, I've been trying to find somebody that could give me some pictures of how the windlace is attached to the places where there is no headliner. It looks like you have exactly what I've been looking for.
If you don't mind, could you provide me with some photos of how your windlace is attached, including major close-ups, of the area between just below the dash to the roof. If you can, please let me know in this thread and I'll email you with my email addy.

Carlene,
After carefull looking, Its attached with "Brads" until just about 3/4 up the windshield and then there is a piece of trim that from the looks of it doubles by holding both the headliner and the windlace. I tried getting some photos of the details but my digital camera will not take a clear photo.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Many thank s for the answers, I suppose the windlace goes around the headliner and down on the back side along the door. I was surprised about the odd look of the cardboard edges when I mounted the rear sides of the headliner.
Now to the windlace, does it have a practical function i.e. cutting the drafts - I have been told that the only gasket that came from the factory was the one at the bottom - or does the windlace only has decorative function ?

Brad - your pictures are a great help. I've been trying to find photo's for several months now in both this and the 48-60 truck forums. Thank you very much.
Mich - the Windlace was for cutting draft and helping with noise along with the cosmetic benefits. I think with the seals we can get now, its more for looks though.

It seems on these trucks it was more practical than functional, but as car designs went on it became more decorative. For instance, on our trucks, there is no door seal, so we rely on the windlace to cut down on some of the drafts and wind noise. However, on my '64 Ranchero, which has a full door seal, the windlace is more decorative to cover the gap between in the door and the body on the interior.
