Where does this trim go please?

[AlexB]

I have taken all the trim that I have, out of the 109 and photographed it. I now need assistance in identifying where it goes please. I have identified the bits between the back and the windows (side) between kitchen and wardrobe, but the metal bits are a mystery – presumably the wider bits go between the window and the 2nd row doors. Any help with the others would be appreciated. (photo number is below picture)

Dear Alex

All the original trim is in place in “Genie” so I will have a go over the weekend to match your bits against hers

Kind regards

Paul

Thanks Paul
I will also repost with gaps in the photos to make it easier for reference.
I have got a few pieces sussed – the one over the back door, the two odd shaped ones that go next to kitchen and wardrobe (oh that I had them!) the ones with the curved cut out that go over the “seat” / wheel arch bit.

The curved metal ones I have no idea likewise the narrow metal ones or the narrow and rombiod fibre ones (for example)

Hi Alex
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond.
Which bits haven’t you figures out? Most of the bits shown here were in Barney when you came.

1. Above rear door
2. Thinner bit goes below spice cabinet. bigger bit, roof above rear side doors?
3. above windscreen and above front doors for roof liner to screw to.
4. Behind rear side windows, both sides
5. Front of rear side windows, both sides
6. They must be for behind the ‘C’ Post up to the cabinets, lower rear body.
7. Angled bit of ‘C’ Posts
8. Roof strengtheners above ‘B’ posts
9. Rubber mat/ Trim fixers?
10. Bottom of rear side windows in front of cabinets
11. Roof strengthener above wardrobe
12.
13.
14. Roof strengthener above ‘B’ Post.

Hope this helps?

If your still stuck, bring the bits here and we can figure it out on Barney.

Cheers Mick

Thanks to Alex for the question and to Paul & Mick for the answers!
I have the same problems and the same metal pieces (photo 10) that I almost threw away after hours spent in vain to figure out what these were…
Kind regards,
Marc

Hi all,

sorry to be late in replying. I’m renovating our house before we move in. It is 100 miles from here and Internet/phone/TV will be connected next week. Has anyone ever seen “The Shining”? It’s a bit like that only the house is smaller.

Here are the strenghteners (photo 8, 14) in-situ. The associated rectangular piece of sheet metal that is also curved is a kind of spring for the headliner.They fit at the point at the front at which the roof begins to slope. The wedge-shaped piece of wood in photos 11 and 12 are associated with these, too. They go in the raingutter by the strengthening plates and provide substance for a screw that holds the “silent gliss”. They only fit one way (match up the screw holes).

[attachment=1:20if8a1s]strenghtener02.jpg[/attachment:20if8a1s]

The curved wood piece in photo 8 is nailed onto the panel above the rear door to support the trim that is behind the water-bottle carrier behind the rearmost side windows on the right side (this piece is the top one in photo 4).

The aluminum strips that are taped together in photos 11 and 12 surround the rear window and hold it in place (with screws and DUM DUM); standard Station Wagon pieces.

The green “Z” profile in photo 11 looks like the piece that goes on the floor in front of the rear seats, by the bottom door seal; a standard 109 Station Wagon piece.

In photo 13 the piece on the far left looks to me like a piece to replace the bottom door seal trap, which is spot-welded to the inner sill. This piece looks a few cm too wide, and would be cut down. I am also hoping to re-make these, soon; again, standard 109 Station Wagon.

I cannot identify the piece on the far right in Photo 13.

Thanks for the detailed view of the trim over the windscreen in photo 1. Thsi is the last piece I have to re-make and I have never seen one.

Here are a couple more from my trim

Here are the photos I took for Alex on New Years’. A bit dark. I’m afraid it was foggy and cold.

I have almost none of the original PVC edging which is on most of Alex’ pieces. Does anyone know where to get some?

Also, the board I used as a replacement is ca. 0.5mm too thick, so the originals weren’t the best templates. There is surprisingly little tolerance. I have had to taper the edges to get some of them to fit. Of course I will save the originals in case I have to re-do any of this.

The way I fit the rear retractable shoulder belts, I can’t use the standard panels on the side of the tub, behind the rear seats. I will modify them. The metal cover over the tub galvanizing is also in a bad spot as far as being sharp and rubbing on the seatbelt, so again I will need to modify it before installing them (I will use edging).[attachment=0:3azodsp5]rightsidetrim01.jpg[/attachment:3azodsp5][attachment=1:3azodsp5]headlinerleft01.jpg[/attachment:3azodsp5][attachment=2:3azodsp5]leftsidetrim02.jpg[/attachment:3azodsp5][attachment=3:3azodsp5]leftsidetrim01.jpg[/attachment:3azodsp5][attachment=4:3azodsp5]flatpanelmount01.jpg[/attachment:3azodsp5]

Hi All
Still can’t figure out where the 2 metal pieces go in photo 10

Any help please?

Also – are there – or rather how many pieces are missing pelase?

thanks

[jkhackney]

Hi Alex,

see my post from January 18th. The pieces go at your elbow if you’re sitting in the rear seat.

You seem to be missing is the front headliner, over the front seats. You have the wooden mounting block for it, ca. 36″ long (your original photos 1 and 3). I had neither of these, and made my own, using a front headliner from a Station Wagon as a pattern for a starting point. However it is quite a different shape from the Station Wagon headliner.

There are 2 simple rectangular pieces I don’t see in your photos. One is ca. 8″ x 3 ” (from memory) and goes in front of the wardrobe, between the chrome rail holding the rear windows and the curtain rail. See my photo above called “right side in front of wardrobe”. It only has a single screw holding it in. The other is maybe 18″ x 3″ (again, estimating) and goes in the same location on the left, above the stove/sink. On second thought, maybe this latter piece is in photo 1 … it should also have a cream-colored vinyl strap with a press stud (snap) on it to hold the sink open.

Have fun. I’m painting the exterior, now, for the second time in 6 months. My first attempt was “rubbish”. The interior trim was much more fun to do.

Thanks Jeremy

I have the cab headlining

Any chance of a phot of those metal pieces in situ please?

thanks

[jkhackney]

Hi Alex,

you’ll have to log into the forum to see the photo I referred to, where they’re visible in-situ: the last photo of my first post on Janaury 18th. I pushed a magic button while posting and the photos aren’t accessible unless you’re logged in. It’s the photo looking from the front seat at the rear seats and the wardrobe/stove, out the back door. Most of the piece is covered by the large metal panel over the top C-post (roof side), so you don’t see most of it. Hope that helps,

Jeremy
