Post Car Quarter Window Run Channels

Pretty much anything I have is for sale.

Here`s the situation, I have another post car that I want to first make sure will be covered for parts should I, or someone else ever decide to finish. This thread has got me second guessing if the right pieces are put away for the quarter glass, have to first make sure of that. I have absolutely no idea of the value of these parts, seriously, none. I`d first like to make a few calls on that. I couldn`t find a pic that big Mike posted, so I`ll re-post my pic with tags to each individual part (it won`t look real professional like others I`ve seen), then by the reference letter or # you can tell me what you need so there`s no misunderstanding. It seems to me you need more than 2 pieces (per side)

It`s coffee clutch day today so it won`t be till this-afternoon. I`ll be with several car guys this morning, I`ll run it by them, get some input.

I'm thinking I only need (B) and (C) pieces for both sides. I have everything else. My windows don't have the guide ear on the (I) piece (bottom of window) so I'm guessing I don't need that, and my car doesn't have attach holes in the side panel for the (D) piece. If the nylon guide on (A) piece aligns the front of the window, and the (C) channel aligns the rear of the window, it should fly.

I took some pics of the bottom of my window, and of the window installed in the channel. (For some damn reason, Photobucket didn't want to cooperate and upload them.....that's what life is like on dial-up!) Anyway, there haven't ever been any guide attached to the bottom of the window, nor to the other three quarter windows I have....all the same. I installed the window in the car, hooked up the controller, and inserted the nylon guide in the vertical track. Window rolled up and down fine, guide stayed in the track just from the weight of the glass. The rear of the window was wobbly, but I think if the rear guide you're showing was installed, that problem would go away.

I sent you the pics in the email.

From the front of the glass (on the bottom edge) to the center of the hole where the regulator lift arm attaches is 14 1/2 inches.

Did you see the HC quarter window info and it's short tracks.
one curved and one on the bottom of the window chanel

To sort of put this post to bed, Postcar sent me the quarter window channels this week, including the upper channels with the "block" at the anchor point. None of the "pop-in" points aligned with my channels, nor did any of the screw holes, so I removed the pop-ins and attached both of the channel runs with screws. I needed to drill holes in my inner quarter panels for the upper channel anchor point and had to use a 3/4 inch wide spacer between the quarter panel and the anchor bracket to align everything. Windows work great. Thanks again to Postcar for his time and trouble.....and parts. He's an asset to the forum.

postcar, I've got my windows in and are working great...with a bit of adapting. I'd surely be interested in seeing what the differences are in the other ones you found. I had to make spacer blocks between the rear track attach point and the side panel to align things, and drill a hole in each side panel to attach the bolts.

I posted something a while back and you and I talked about the length of inner felts for the door glasses. The ones I received were a bit over 19 inches long (the length of the 1/4 window felts) and I needed felts a bit over 30 inches, which is what PUI is going to send me. Was that what you were thinking about?

Oh, yesterday it was 106 here. Had a small storm move thru last night, and this morning we woke up to 73 degrees. WADDA DIFFERENCE 30 degrees makes! I couldn't wait to get out to the shop! Supposed to stay low 80's all week!!

Woke up to 52 degrees here this morning. Ain't life great??? Temp got up to about 70 for a high. I don't think I'm quite ready for frost, but sure would like to see a long, cool fall. I laid in 2 cord of wood last week, if the farmer's almanac knows anything, it says we're gonna have a cool, dry winter. We'll see. I got out this afternoon and blew some paint. Got the bottom side of my trunklid and the cowl panel all painted. Really nice day for that. If weather holds, I might be able to finish blocking the rest of the car this week. Be cool if I could get it painted by the time the weather goes south, then spend the winter working on re-assembly, and interior.

Partshelp442, I appreciate your comeback, but I found a full set of almost cherry side windows a guy back east had. I finished the car in April of 2012, so didn't look back at this post since. Those windows, and the window guides I got from postcar worked out fine. I've got several thou miles on my 442 now and it's everything I wanted it to be....rides and handles like a dream. I will keep your phone no. in case any of my '65 buddies around locally are in need of windows. Thanks again. Marc
