Default 1963 Bonne windlace & kick panel question

I am trying to install the windlace on my 63 Bonne Safari.

Does the windlace stop at the top of the A-pillar?

If it continues down the A-pillar, pics would be very helpful!

I am also not sure I have the right kick panels. They are hard plastic, but do not have the long piece that goes up from the kick panel to cover the dash to body seal.

Again, pics would be helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Yes, windlace stops at the top of the A pillar.
Kick panels do not have a piece that goes up beside the dash. It is a separate piece of windlace that screws on.
Here’s a couple of pics. Sorry, no kick panel pics.
I removed the “filling” from the small pieces and slid in some plastic tubing into them to firm them up. The roof windlace is pretty bad.
Hope that helps. Can take other pics if you ever want anything!

Thanks Rob, the pics are very helpful!

I don't have the metal strips the windlace is attached to in pic 3, but I think I can make something work without them. It looks like the a-pillar trim and the top of the kick panel will trap the windlace, I have to figure out how to fix the windlace between the dash.

Thanks again for all your help!
