MG MGA - Coupe door trim attachment question

Greetings,

On the leading top/hinge side of the coupe door, just under and in front of the vent window frame, there is a small (about one inch square) trim piece. There is a hole in the center to attach this in place. Since I can't seem to remember, my question is, is a screw or pop-rivet used to attach this. There is a rectangular piece similarly located on the latch edge of the door that is held in place by two pop-rivets but for some reason, I have the idea that the smaller front piece used a small screw? I know it's a little thing but if I can put it back the way it was for no more effort, why not do so. Thanks!

Robert, on my coupe those small pieces were riveted to the door.

Hey guys,
This may seem like a strange request, but at some point, maybe this winter, I am going to have my coupe doors re-skinned. I peeled the skins off some time ago to address rust issues with the door frames, and those pieces have been misplaced...could I get a couple of pics of the leading and trailing pieces in place. I appreciate it.
Cheers,

Hello All,

I'm looking for the two pieces for a right hand Coupe door that are described by Robert in the first post. Is anyone able to help me out? Obviously I'm prepared to pay a reasonable price plus postage.
Thanks.

R Fisher,

You might try Scarborough Faire @(800)MGPARTS and ask Cecelia. She has a few coupe parts cars and might be willing to help you out. Good luck!!!
