Early S1 Door Trim

[zog]

I'm working on an early S1 and I have noticed that the upper inside area of the doors do not have a rain gutter like the later S1 and S2 cars. The hole where you access the door adjustment hardware is poorly cut out and it looks like it is supposed to have some sort of trim piece and a couple screw cover up the hole.

Does anyone have some pictures of what it is supposed to look like when it is covered up?

Thanks!

Here is a picture of the spot on the door.

From my experience with two S1’s both cars have been modified to make it easier to adjust.

Thanks for the pictures and comments. It looks rather crude and is probably the cause of many soaked legs.

Graeme, nice to see that someone had the foresight to download those excellent original 26 pictures before the "type 26" site became Chinese porn. I was relying on them for my S1 reassembly. I may be bugging you in the future....
