Drip Rail Length

Can someone post some pictures of a '72 SE drip rails?  I had to cut mine off and weld on donor parts from a '72 Satellite and they go all the way down the A-pillar.  I think they stop before the A-pillar on the Charger so I need confirmation.  Thanks.

Here are some pictures to better explain.  The first pic is from my donor Satellite piece.  See how the green drip rail lip goes all the way down the A-pillar.  The second pic is what is currently on my Charger.  At some point, in all that rust, the actual lip of the drip rail comes to an end before it runs down the A-pillar.  I need to know where it ends roughly so I can trim them to close to factory location.

Last attempt for a picture.  Can anyone with a 72 SE post a close up pic of their A-pillar without the trim?

When the sun comes up I will get you some pictures. I have 2 72 Se Chargers. One is taken completely apart.

Hope this helps you out. If you need different angles or measurements I'll take more.

Thanks Mike    :cheers:     That's exactly what I needed.  But like the '72 Satellite, it looks like your drip rails go all the way down the A-pillar.  If you match your first picture up with my second pic, you will see that my Charger doesn't have it running down the A-pillar at all.  Wonder if different plants built them a little differently?

I believe all 71-74 b body the drip rail should run the length of the A pillar. I have a 73 RR parts car and they are the same. My 3rd picture down from the top is how the factory just chopped the drip rail out where the infill panel was welded in. The chrome metal piece that holds the rubber in for the glass to sill against was left in just like the non SE cars, they just added the vertical  trim piece in at the side glass
