Having a hard time finding an answer online and I figured a few of the pros here might have come across this.
I'm building a 65 Mustang Fastback.
My floors were replaced and I didn't have any of the trim brackets. So I ordered the replacement parts from Dynacorn.
In the pictures I've seen, the brackets that hold the rear trim panel (that follows the lower edge of the back window) are angled up a bit. Here's one picture I found online.

Here are the brackets that came with the dynacorn kit.

When I installed ones on the right in the pre-drilled holes, the panel stuck out too far and wasn't lined up correctly.

Trying to bend these brackets upwards just didn't work for me.
So I wound up taking the shorter ones and pre-mounted them to the panel and it looks closer...but I'd have to mount the tabs pretty much right under the window lip (since they aren't angled up at all either)

I found this picture and it looks like I need to have some room for the window rubbers to fit under the lip though.

So my questions are:
How much of a gap do I need between the lower portion of the window lip and the bracket?
Does the upper edge of the rear panel supposed to be under the window lip or is how I have it now (just a bit in front of the lip) ok?
If you don't have the original brackets...how the heck to you get these dynacorn ones to work?
