69 Delta 88 Convertible

Newbie Benny Here!
Just got the 69 Delta 88 Convertible 350 from an awesome guy who rallied it from New York to New Orleans and back. It runs decent, but is gonna need a little love.
Ill throw some photos up soon...

Im sure Ill have a lot of questions in the future. First, I got is about the wheels for the windows, or the track guides as I think there called. The back window was off track and I tried to pull the wheel off to get it back on line, and it cracked (the wheel). I had an awesome glass shop in Fishtown, Philly, but they just closed. Where can I find replacement parts like this?

Also, the vent (A/C-heat) fan doesnt work at all. Can I pull this off an old car?

Thanks
B

Are you speaking of the handle or inside the rear pannel?

best source

Your best source would be to try and find a 1969 Olds service manual for the full size Olds. I have one and it covers the 88's 98's and Toronado's It also covers the L6 engine as well as 350 through 455. You could try finding one on e-bay or similar sites.
