Header Panel for 36 Ford 5W Coupe?

[kyhotrod]

Hello All! I'm a newbie to the FordBarn in terms of actual posts but I've browsed quite a bit and found alot of useful information and for that I thank everyone in advance. Now here's my situation/observation... I'm in the process of reinstalling my headliner and I was looking this evening and noticed that the location where the headliner gets tacked in the front is considerably short of the top of the front windshield. This is the area where the windshield frame hinges are located as well as where the windshield wiper motor would be mounted. Is there a metal panel that covers this area across the entire width of the car? I've included a photo of the area in question. Are these panels available? I would appreciate any/all feedback. Thanks!

There is indeed a header panel used and it's peculiar to the '36. The ’35 is different. They are not reproduced.

If you’d like, I could take a picture of mine and post it for you.

I found this picture which maybe helpful. The top is a '36 the bottom is a '35.

A few pictures of 36 header panels and some comparing 35 to 36. This 36 panel has an extra rectangular hole cut, probably for fit of an aftermarket wiper motor.
