Re: 32 cabriolet sub rails
I recommend 5w rails from United Pacific. I use the rear [trunk area forward] flat pan from a 5w in my cabriolet. The seat is a narrowed 4dr item. Others will answer. Newc

I agree with Newc on the 5 window rails.

Re: 32 cabriolet sub rails
5W doors are 26 1/2” roadster doors are 24 1/2” cabriolet doors are 27 1/2 . Don’t know if this affects the subrail or not at the B pillar . But will probably go with Newc suggestion , what ever we get we will just have to make fit. you can see why we want to replace the sub rails , 1/4” plate and tacked together parts with great gobs of filler and or silicone sealer . The brown stuff is from me sandblasting the hideous away.

Re: 32 cabriolet sub rails
I agree with Newc. The 5 window sub rails will work fine. Any good metal man can make the 1 inch adjustment in the sub rails to compensate for the added length of the cabriolet doors and fit the B pillar to the sub rail. You'll probably need 2 door sill plates because of the added length. cut to fit.
