Usually it's where it sits most comfortable, looking at your side picture, I would try to move everything up and in slightly to close that gap and get the bottom of the trim level with the drip rail....which is very little from where it's at now. :alan2cents:

Ahhh yes, having original holes left behind certainly limits the location that you can place it in....It sounds as if you have it now where it has to go... :dunno:

The rear window is much smaller on the SE. The entire SE plug is the same size as the standard Challenger rear window.
