Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005Door Sill 53 Coupe
Where can you get repro door sills that go over the carpet under the door? 1953 Lowery coupe IIRC- The door sill plates used in '53 go over the (entire) sill- but UNDER the carpet at the edge. The edge of the carpet is bound. In later years, the carpet was not bound- and instead was held down by a narrow stainless strip that screwed to the sill. Both sill plates are readily available from the various Vendors (SI,SASCO,Phil Harris, etc...). I personally prefer the earlier plates and bound-edge carpet sets. SI is supposed to be making a "new" style that has the correct "arch"- so they fit better. I have not had any confirmation of this.

I'm sort-of thinking that I may want a pair at some point in the future as some unspeakable bad person sank a bunch of trim screws through mine. Now I did manage to install a pair of the older, straight ones without kinking them if anyone still has a set of those and would like to install them - involved wadded up shop rags and slamming doors, but it worked. nate > IIRC- The door sill plates used in '53 go over the (entire) sill- but > UNDER the carpet at the edge.
