66 window woes and a call for parts
Permalink  
 


im working on getting the power window conversion in and adjusted before taking the car up for her new convertible top.  When I got the old manual regulators out today, I discovered that a) one of the steel assemblies that the glass fits into at the bottom is cracked and missing a piece (drivers side) , and b) my driver's side wing window has broken off at the lower pivot point on the frame. Would anyone happen to have either of those sitting in the parts box? I have a brand new big-block aluminum timing cover, a new shiny long-water-pump alternator bracket, or any number of other goodies to trade. I'be been able to find most of what I need on the web, but there two don't seem to be readily available.

 

Thanks!

Would help if you would post a picture of the part you need.

Just parted out two post doors, not sure if the regulator is the same.

Good idea.  Here's a link to the OPGI listing for the whole assembly with the glass.  I am not looking for the glass, just for the steel assembly at the bottom that the glass fits into.

Thanks Jim. I honestly don't know, but I assume that the 4dr windows were probably shorter than the coupe/convert. I will measure in the morning and PM you. I very much appreciate the response!
