    I found some parts in the rafters of my garage. I think they're for a 30 model A?? The rear window trim measures 7" (inside to inside) and shows weld marks in the middle. The dash piece is chrome. Do these fit ALL model A's or are they year specific? Thannks in advance. Stu

    I have that dash rail in my 31". I had to drill and install rivnuts in the structure to make it work. I have also seen them with 2 screws on each end.

    The rear window moulding fits all p***enger bodies, 28-31 with the possible exception of the slantwindshield cars. BUT if it has been cut, as in chopped, it will fit only a chopped car that size or shorter.

    The dash rail is 30-31 all bodies, p***enger and commercial.

    Now that you mention it, what is the difference between the coupe and roadster dash rails? I have a coupe one, but need a roadster one.

    30-31 roadster is 100% different
    you cant mix them up

    28-29 roadster looks similar to a closed car but has a bead at each side and a dished in surface to it "concaved"
    the closed cars from 28-31 all had a basically flat surface with the 30-31's having the pressed in shallow recesses like the chrome one pictured
