Charles,

I measured the channel a little while ago. The channel appears to be 1 9/16" deep and 1 1/2" wide. It also extends approx 4" past the rear fender/body seams on either side. The channel tapers down to the width of my forefinger at outside fender curve.

Nor sure if this deserves a new thread- but what kind of lining is installed in Patrician trunk inner fender sidewalls and the tops of the wheel wells? It almost looks like carpet but appears to have some kind of a sprayed adhesive under the carpet fibers. Kind of rings a bell about another post a ways back.
