Then a metal molding with attached nails is nailed in place over the seam. Some use a fabric hidem welting around the tops and a few other places. How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

If these three pieces have separated, you have a bit of a job ahead of you. Perhaps you could sweat solder the pieces together, then place small rivits at the very top (which will be hidden under the upholstery) and at the very bottom (which will be underneath the car and not obvious) as "stiffeners". I will try to get a couple of photos of mine and will post them up for reference. 1924 Superior "F" Touring Car
