Abstract
A convertible body structure includes a spaced juncture defined by the forward edge of the upstanding body flange molding surrounding the flexible top storage tonneau and the forward edge of the quarter belt molding. A readily installed molding transitioln block is provided which insures vertical height alignment of the adjustable tonneau cover peripheral trim member with the belt molding. The transition block also insures "cross car" alignment between the moldings together with an external arcuate sealing surface for mating contact with an internal seal on the tonneau cover trim member.
