Fitting vertical trim over threshold mat
Posted: Mon Jun 11, 2018 5:49 pm
I'm attempting to install the vertical aluminum trim over the threshold mat on my '63 Ruetter coupe.
When I dry fit the mat and aluminum trim there is a 1/8" gap between the bottom of the trim and the top of the door opening. The pre-existing holes are not even close to lining up with the holes in the trim.
The wide edge of the mat is on the outboard side, not one of the ribs. In other words I'm fitting the trim over the thinnest edge of the mat. Both the mat and the trim are new.
All of my reference books show the trim fitting over the mat, not butted against the mat.
What am I going wrong?
Any suggestions appreciated.
