Default '33-'34 rear window garnish

I'm trying to find a rear window garnish molding for my '34 5-window.

A guy on the HAMB has one listed for sale but it is for a tudor sedan.
Will it fit?

If not, what will? I believe the 3-window and 5-window are the same, right???

Thanks

The guy at the website listed below builds a nice fiberglass unit that fits. Got one for my 5 window. Also a guy that advertises aluminum cast garnish sets on Ebay will sell just the rear.

The tudor is not the same, I checked that.

I never owned a '33 or '34 but on '32's the five window garnish is deeper than a sedan. My 5-W molding is 1 3/8" and on the Fordor it's only 3/4"; I always assumed the difference was for more head room.

The rear window garnish is reproduced by Steve's Auto (SARS). Originals are tough to find. The moulding from a tudor or fordor can be used but you have to straighten the bottom as sedans have a curve where a coupe is straight. I did this for my 5w as I liked the look of the rear moulding matching the quarter window moulding. The width is the same. I placed the moulding vertical with a 2x4 block on each end then gently stepped in the middle to take the curve out.
