The trim goes from the rear tube to the dashboard, and it is not that bad.

Hope that helps
Cheers- I really appreciate the pics - my first thought was to loose the return on that curve entirely so the line of the original metalwork is followed on the outside and somehow trimming the vertical edge so it has a nicer finish on it. Your solution - to effectively 'cut the top off' the curve - does make sense and looks fine I think!

I am fairly sure I have no other room for adjustment as the panel sits pretty tight on the rails down the whole side of the car - I may even need to sand out the returns on the inside slightly to try and introduce a bit more space to work...!
