They fit nice too. The clips are a little hard to push in place...required a flat head to push up on into the channel but they are very sturdy when installed.~David~

I can measure the doors on my Mark and let someone else measure the doors on their CV/GM tudor and compare notes. then we would know if they would fit a Linc tudor.

I will take some measurements in a couple of weeks. Snowing out now...car is under a cover...going away next week for a week but will be glad to help after that.
Where exactly should we measure? I guess the horizontal portion of the door from the back edge to the first bend?
EDIT. I just took a gander at your rr thread...your door frame looks bigger...by a couple of inches. Still willing to measure though.Last edited by 87gtVIC; 01-07-2011, 03:00 PM.~David~

it may just be the angle of the photos. Measuring stick will tell the truth. And yeah... from the highest point in the rear to the first bend forward.Originally posted by 87gtVIC View Post

deal. I have a door in my basement to measure but that is inaccessible as well. But I will measure when I get a chance.~David~

looks like the CV/GM door angles forward at the rear of the window channel a little. It's straight up on the Lincoln. I'm thinking that the CV/GM will be shorter.

theyre already getting harder to find so im trying to get what i come across now.Originally posted by pantera77 View Post
it all started after i saw a set of NOS wheel well molding, at that time i didnt realize how rare they were and thought i could always buy them later some time. yeah right.
ever since then if i think i might need it (or you guys) in the future and its priced reasonably i grab it.
i bought a NOS hood ornament for $35 shipped. wonder how much more itll cost in 10 years. double, at least.1988 MGM GS - Preferred Equipment Package 172A; InstaClear

yea, the door channels are not the same at the end of the door. the lincoln has a square end, as the ford/merc is angled.
