    Admittedly a very specific request, but there are a ton of As on here...so here goes:
    My rear quarters are pretty hashed and I’m trying to patch a section of the rain gutter. I’m a little confused, and have no solid reference (and can’t seem to find a good one). I need to know the way the quarter’s drip rail runs through the rear window panel. Pictures of mine in progress below. If someone has a quarter laying around and could snap a quick pic I’d really appreciate it.
    Thanks much,
    -Chris

    the rear window gutter does not run into the trunk gutter. I am guessing you have a coupe with a roll down window? it should have it's own gutter with a tube that exits one side and runs out next to the body sill inside the quarter panel

    No idea if it had a roll down rear window. The only reference I have is the p***enger side, where the gutter has been cut out. I was ***uming both sides would be the same.

    the piece on the tulip panel, with the pie shape and hole , fits in the quarter panel channel.

    Yes, thanks. That part I get, and have photos of. My confusion is with the metalwork of the quarter itself.

    I think what would be really helpful might be a photo of that section of the quarter without the tulip panel in place. That way I could see how off my guesswork patch is.

    Thanks again
