I don't know how different the vent window type trim & install is, but the
47 2nd-50 solid window's type doors trim has tabs that go under the "cat
wiskers" for the glass frame seal. I know the vent window design is
radically different, (i.e. NO sliding glass frame & "wiskers"), so I don't
know HOW the trim might differ.

> I'm working on a '53 Chevy 1/2 ton resto-rod project. I got some
stainless steel trim for the doors that goes around the inside and outside
of the windows. The inner trim goes in very easily and it is obvious how to
install it, BUT the outer trim is a complete mystery! Does anyone know how
to install the outer SS trim on these AD trucks? My truck has the vent
window in it. The challenge is getting the trim (which has a channel that
slips over the pinch welded edge of the window opening) in the window
opening without bending it hopelessly out of shape - AND without scratching
the heck out of the paint! I tried slipping it in from the outside, from
the inside, slipping the bottom edge on first, the top edge first, etc. etc.
No matter what I tried, I was unable to slip the channel over the window
edge all the way around. BTW, I checked the original window trim (painted,
not SS) that came off of these doors and they are exactly the same shape and
size - so I am fairly
> certain that there is a way to put them on! Does anyone have any
experience to share on this? Thanks in advance!
