    Window question

    Does anyone have a fix for this? The window does not go all the way down and it's a pain for me and my passenger to have your arm on the window. Is there any way to put it all the way down like a normal window woud go?

    I think its because the window isn't all the way on the track. Mine does that too. You have to take the door card off and try to put it back on properly.

        That is as far as early windows go down. It is to keep pasty white flabby arms off the paint and gaskets.

        Closing SOON!

              Every early car I have ever checked (like 10 of them) has the same deal.

              Bugs me too on mine!

                Hmm, then I bet they just designed all convertibles to go all the way down. Which, hey, makes sense, I'd look retarded like that with the top down.

                    Yeah, you could.

                    'verts are radically different. They have frameless windows as well, but the regulator is quite different.

                    That would be why we don't call them "early cars", we call them "verts" because they were made so differently, different rules apply to them.

                        Ah, I'm used to 'early' applying to my car. Early cooling system, early dual fuel pump setup, early bumpers, tail lights, etc.
