Twisted Drip Rail ends

[TomoHawk]

The aft ends of the roof drip rails, have become loose, as if they were pulled off, and they seem to be twisted. Is that normal? The inner shelf flange is turned up so that thhe water can easily run underneath. I'd like to get them back on & untwisted. They don't easily twist back. I can get a pic later, but I think this may be a coimmon problem.

What's the fix?

thx

You know, I think that may be normal. I had them off when my car was painted and that flange tapers outward the last 4 inches or so but the drip rail doesn't get any thicker so it won't go on any farther than that at the end. Both of mine fit flush until they get to that point.

Stephen,

Yours look normal to me.

I think that Tomo is concerned because they sit out farther at the ends than they do the rest of the way, but I also think that is normal.

mine is the same as in the pic. also..

I don't know if it is normal or "originally normal "

All three of my cars look the same as the picture. It does appear to be 'normal'.

Here is a pic off a stock 280Z. They do hang off a bit, about an inch.

The reason I'm inquiring is because at a car show last summer, I was penalized because my drip rails didn't follow the body lines, or- stuck out and were twisted. :hurt:
