C pillar trims

Just wondered if anyone can help with a question I have about the c pillar trims.
When I bought the car it had the drivers side trim missing and the one on the other side was in quite a grotty state, so I bought a pair that came up on ebay, in the same crackle cream, which look original and are in pretty good condition. Today I gave them a bit of a clean and just offered them up into position to see how they looked :) The only problem is they are too narrow and don't reach from the rear window rubbers to the rubbers on the side windows. So my question is - did the c pillars change size at some stage which presumably means the rear window changed size :? . My car is a 63 Super Deluxe. Any help would be appreciated.

You've probably bought Mk2 ones which will be too narrow as the Mk2 rear window is bigger.

:oops: Thanks Pete - thought that might be the case. I bought these as they were listed as Mk1's , he obviously didn't know or was telling a porky. Guess I'll have to look out for some real Mk1s.
Thanks again
