Not readily, mine kind of didn't make it back on and I still haven't found them since I cleaned up :oops:

You can get by without them...

For a pic of an "overhead drip plate" go to:-

"My FB EK" section

"About Time Pics" by forum member "matches"

1st page, last photo, drivers side door shows "overhead drip plate " painted white and fitted just above the quarter window ( its not the chrome one above the weathershield however)


The other side front door would have one as well originally.

Supposed to stop rain coming in when window is open ( opened slightly) but don't think it actually worked as well in use as Holden thought it would at the time.

None taken, unless you want some of a dirty white/greyish red looking sedan..

Maybe some Saturday if I take it to the Coffee and Donuts run, but its looking like the green machine will be getting an outting.
