I'm at my wit's end trying to find the right piece to finish the top of the door, interior side (if it exists). I've found VWC-141-837-471 TOP OF DOOR RUBBER SCRAPER WITH CHROME MOLDING ASSEMBLY but I think that's for the exterior side of the door. I found this heritagepartscentre.com/us/141837479-inner-window-scraper-left-or-right.html and this piece is in the door, but it seems like there should be a "finishing" piece for the top of the door against the window. I've tried looking at photos online but so far haven't been able to conclude what it's supposed to look like. Also, are those holes supposed to be there? There was lots of "extra work" done by the previous owner so I'm never certain what's supposed to be there and not supposed to be there. If there's nothing that finishes the interior window side, I'll have the body shop fill those holes.

Thanks for any advice.

What year is your Ghia? Personally, I've never seen holes like that on the inside top of the door. Normally they are on the outside where the window scraper trim holds the rubber scraper in place.
