The TR5 and TR250 have there own unique side molding (wider than the TR4A, I learned when I used the TR250 part number to order the securing rivets many, many, years ago, but I digress) The end of the door molding towards the back or handle end has a curve in it, I had thought, and installed, mine so that it curved up, matching the curve up at the back of the door which it sits close to. So here is what research shows me, a couple period advert pics and road tests, hard to tell for sure, but looks like it curves down. The factory parts manual and drawing hard to tell for sure, but looks like it curves up. In the TR4-TR6 originality guide there are a couple pics where it is clear, on one car it curves up, on the other it curves down. Now I am planning on leaving my car the way it is, but I have ordered a new one (right hand), because mine has a couple scratches and very minor dings, and told them twice they were sending me a left hand part (as an interesting aside I have an old left and right, by part number, molding, from the same vendor. and they are both for the same side, or identical instead of being handed). So I am telling the vendor they are wrong, and they have believed me so far, but maybe I am wrong (big gasp) any thoughts or knowledge of this? Greg
