This is on my parts car (55 Clipper).
Factory or homemade? I think the latter. Attach file:  20240720_124418.jpg (781.95 KB)

I think that's either factory or dealer retrofit as I seem to recall seeing a bulletin about the extra drip rail being needed.

Yeah I need to check the bulletins. This was a very early car and has the oil baffles too.

For reference, here's photos from a late production 55 400 with original weatherstripping. Someone decided to use a self tapper to hold it in place; my assumption is that was done after painting it.

Leaks in that area were very common in all cars with the wrap around windshield styling. It looked very modern back in the day, but it led to many a rusty floorboard.
