I am at the Hardest part of this frame off restoration . This one is just one of many that's puzzling . I have 2 leather interior pieces that I am have trouble figuring where they go . ( see photos Please ) . I know they are for convertible top and I have old one . Old ones were in a box with many other pieces i received . They are in a spot that is not clearly seen ( my top installer did not know either ). So if you worked on a 57 Cadillac convertible please help me locate these pieces ? Thanks Jim

Maybe The way i describe parts was not clear . These parts go somewhere on convertible top mechanism . They could also be on all 57 Cadillac convertibles ? Thanks Jim

I am not near my car presently, but I think they go in the inner areas of the shoulder bolsters. I’ll try and have a look on the weekend.

See photo of existing piece that has several screw holes but I still not sure where it attaches . Thanks Jim

I apologise for not yet determining exactly where they go as I haven’t been to my car which is stored elsewhere.... but I do think that you will find a home for them in the shoulder bolster well of the convertible top mechanism.
Hopefully I’ll get over to my car this week.
