1929 Fordor Windlace Front Doors Mounting Location

[ddelproop]

Q. 1929 Fordor Windlace for the Front Doors, Mounting Location. Is the front lateral windlace strips that are parallel to cowl panels/Front Window Pillers mounted to the door or on the side with the panels/Pillers.

I have some remaining material artifacts that indicate on our car it was mounted with/along cowl/pillers.

What has me questioning my assumptions is I have run across photos of some cars having it mounted on the door.

Thanks
Dan

I'm not sure how it was original but I just looked at my '30 Town Sedan and it is mounted to the door. It appears the windlace would get damaged easily if it was mounted to the pillar everytime someone got into or out of the car.

Thanks.

I had it originally mounted on the Piller.

I found a few photographs yesterday in Model A books and it appears that for the four door cars the windlace was indeed mounted on the door ... same as yours.

I will say what a pain to install especially if door panels are not original. Many an hour getting everything aligned right especially to avoid binding on the windlace.

Thanks so much!
