I am attempting to convert my 1957 Nomad doors to one solid window and deleting the vent window. I purchased an extra set of verticle door stainless so I can retain my originals in case I ever want to put back the original vent windows. I have purchased reproduction Nomad doors and No-Vent Power Window Regulators as well as duplicates of other parts needed, but, I am curious as to what others have done in modifying the stainless where the top cap goes.

Just some info, on my Nomad, I know that the top caps are specific to driver and passenger sides (my Nomad's top vent caps are not the "shorts") and that my 57 Nomad was built in New York (according to the vin). purchased the vertical door trim pieces (inners) that have extra material at the top so I have some metal to play with in figuring out how I will go about this. My Nomad's original vertical inners and do not have this bend at the top for the "shorts" to slip into.

Any insight is appreciated for my 57 Nomad.

Thanks
