Yes, the garnish rail is in two pieces. The center division bar on the inside of the car extends upward with a lip or tang on it to cover the gap between the garnish rails just like it has on the bottom. No holes anywhere though for an antenna to pass. The mirror and its bracket are no where near the top of the division bar though so its still a mystery. Are you saying there might be a dimple for drilling through the tang at the top of the division bar? If there is, I sure don't see it.

Yes, I have the spring and two antenna lead in parts but when fully compressed its about 4" too long still.
