I have no clue what those are. Also, looks like you have 5 of them, which is an odd number.

I only have one of the anomalies; the other four are outer shells for the hatch buttons

Back in the shop this weekend

I need some help with this seal. How is it supposed to fit to the door??

I got the door locks in the doors,. Although I damaged the paint on the passenger door. Window frames are in and all the internal mechanism is in. I got the window regulators in yesterday.

I will work on door sweeps next weekend, hopefully. Maybe mirrors too

Looking great Charles! I cant claim this is correct as I struggled getting that rubber installed too. I am pretty sure the inner flaps go under the door card. Outer one I installed under the trim. Love to know if I was correct!

Car looks fabulous, Charles. For those of us who remember your paint disaster, this has to be very rewarding.

Re the problem seal, here's a photo from an unmolested early 71 Z (VIN 019769) that came up for sale on BAT a few years ago. Hope it helps...

Tail light chrome pieces. They weren't very flat. So I heated them slightly to reshape them. I did cause some wrinkling in the finish on the one that was pretty warped. I probably should have sent them back and exchanged them but for now it's fine

The center post of the chrome is supposed to be long enough to go all the way through the back and get another star washer. The posts on my repops aren't long enough for that. So hopefully the lens don't fall out

Felts for the bottom lens drains
