face=Arial>On my 65 Notch I bought "type 3" trims from CIP. However, these were
for the Brazilian type 3, which doesn't share body shapes very much. In the end
I used just the rubber from them, as they were that far off. Even the rubber was
a 1/2 inch too short in length. I also replaced the rear/top glass run channel
(the "U" shaped piece), but these must have been cut to bug length as they were
about 5" too short as well.</FONT></DIV>
