Door Garnish photos needed for part made out of unobtainium.

Door Garnish photos needed for part made out of unobtainium.

Does anyone have clear photos of the three metal garnish items on a coupe door, want top, front, and rear of door around the window glass. Since I cannot buy all three and want them to match, I might as well make them. We already have the two window sill metal garnish pieces. A photo of them installed in place would be great, how they interact if at all. I already have new square nuts and #10-32 oval head, slot drive stainless screws. Each garnish has three screw holes.
Thanks!

n/m I don't know what I am taking about. I finally found some photos and now realize that there are two brackets, front and rear of the door glass that support a U shaped garnish that slides down from the top.

The 26-27 coupe door is the same as the 1928 Model A closed cab pick up door. For some reason the Model A guys have better reproduction parts than a lot of the T stuff available. They are available as reproductions by Snyders Antique Auto Parts.

Jeff,
Thanks, ordered the two garnish pieces and four brackets for Coupe from Snyder's. It was all in stock.
I also appreciate the window glass installation instructions in an old post.
