I also found original switches, for rear window defroster and rear fog light.

Once I install the cigarette lighter, I will have all the dash holes filled. And I have some plans for the new switches.

I also got the missing targa trim piece from 914 Rubber, so I have left and right.

Then time for the rear edge trim piece. I treated the steel retaining clips with T-9 to prevent (more) rust.

Then the fun started with the rear sail trim. I recycled the spacer for the upper screw. The screw hole in the new factory piece did not line up with the existing hole in the sail edge, so that required a new hole.

Here's the trailing edge retaining clip, slid into the trim. But the fit is sloppy, so when I tried to get the nut started inside the fender, the protruding bolt vanished into the hole.

My solution: a small roll of vinyl electrical tape, sticky side out, and wedged into the space to force the clip towards the bottom.

With that I managed to get the nut started, and the trim installed. Looks good to me.

Bob, the car is coming along beautifully. Very nice workmanship and attention to detail as usual.

That looks perfect! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I really think the sail panel vinyl adds so much to the look of our cars. On my 2nd Six, following some paint/rust repair, I left the sail panel vinyl off to see if I could get accustomed to that look. After about a week I put the vinyl back on. It's funny, because my default would always be to remove any vinyl roofing on cars as it just traps moisture and creates problems.

Thanks, everyone.

Cairo, I agree about the sail vinyl. I have seen very few 914s that I think look good without it. One I did like (and made) was my 914 race car.

I did the trim on the other side today, and got a few more photos of details.

Just like on the left side, the tab on the lower trim is elevated, so the trailing edge of the rear trim sits too high.

To fix that I folded the tab down. The metal is soft aluminum, so pretty easy.

That lets the rear trim sit flat on the bodywork.

And just like on the left side, the existing screw hole did not line up with the new trim, but here was off by only a few mm.
