Folks,

I have a 1970 442 Convertible and am having difficulty getting the side glass (both door and rear seat) to align with each other and the top. There appears to possibly be some missing parts, but I can't be sure.

Does anybody have pictures of the window mechanisms or possibly the assembly manuals that would show this?

Any other tips for getting these aligned?

Any assistance is appreciated,

JR

 

First, the door alignments must be verified and adjusted if needed. Any weatherstrip should be replaced as needed. Then, with the top up, align the door glass with the windshield pillar and convertible top. After that, align the rear qtr window to the door glass and convertible top.

The alignment bolt locations and some vague descriptions are discussed in the chassis manual.
This is a tedious task and can get quite involved. If the top and/or weatherstrip was ever replaced, more funky variables are induced.
What parts might you think are missing? Are your windows loose?
What direction(s) will not align? Can you post a picture of the misalignment?

 

I will take some pictures as best as I can and post them.
