I have been working on a replacement end cap for the quarter window moldings for our cars. The ends of these moldings are covered by the weather stripping of the quarter window originally but these are sometimes torn and missing (as mine were), especially when the moldings have been removed, either for replacement with Kuruma Z items or when someone is refinishing their OEM moldings. This means you are left with a pretty ugly looking end of the trim and quite a large gap to the hatch, with a cut angle on the end of the molding which does not follow the angle of the hatch lid either. My design covers the cut of the molding, fills most of the space back to the hatch lid and matches the angle of the end of the molding to the hatch lid too.
I have created the design using my own 2+2 and with my hands on a Kuruma Z set as well as OEM. What I am looking for (and I realise this may be hard to find in the UK and I may need to find someone in the US), is someone with a 2 seater who is in need of a set and would like to test fit my part to ensure good fitment on a 2 seater. It does not matter whether you would be fitting them to an OEM set or Kuruma set of moldings. They both measure the same, have very very similar profiles and the angle of the cut on the end is the same and this piece is designed to accommodate both. The cap is designed to seat itself correctly but requires the application of a small amount of black silicone or similar applied inside the cap to ensure final and fixed fitment. As with all of my parts, these are made with ASA plastic, which has high heat and UV tolerance, unlike ABS etc.

What you will get is a set of free end caps, of course 🙂 If you'd like to see some of my other work, theres some here: autotun3D (@autotun3d) • Instagram photos and videos
Here is a look at the product below. All pictures are shown fitted to my own refinished set of OEM moldings...
