Does anyone know if the 300D sedan and the 300TDT wagon share the same horizontal molding on the rear qtr panel? In both cases this molding wraps around(above the tail light) and is held on, in the rear most position, by a nut that must be removed from inside the car or wagon. Red plastic caps anchor the other contact points along the molding.

I am not sure if they are the same, but am excited to here they might be.
I am searching for the left side body moulding as you describe.
(Left rear 1/4 body moulding).

Not sure about that side molding but it may be if interest to those that have TDs and only have sedan parts cars, the horizontal molding on the sedan trunk lid can easily be modified to work on the TD hatch.

Indeed, wagon and sedan molding are the same.

The sedan trunk/TD lid molding look the same and are the same except they fasten differently and that needs to be modified before you can switch them. At least that was the case with my Euro TD.

Hi
I am interested in the information about the compatibility between the sedan moulding and the wagon's

Would anyone be able to elaborate on the modification necessary, with pics?
Thanks
Dirk

I dont remember the details but when I had both moldings off it was really obvious.
