I was gonna say, they not real available in the Pacific Northwest where I live. Cost me $150 out the door, and $30 to fix the bent rim.

Quarter windows now properly repaired and 100% functional! Last year I attempted to repair the broken quarter windows on my '66 Newport. I was somewhat successful in as much as they would go down, but they wouldn't always come back up due to some incorrect replacement parts. All of that has...

What type of clips were used to hold the package tray in place? Here is the underside of my original showing the clip retainers.

Ah, it was so crusty I couldn’t see them!

I can't believe they riveted the lens directly to that material (fiber board?) without so much as a steel washer or anything for backing . . .

Warning: Graphic Content. While making some adjustments to the drivers side mirror so that the wing window would not hit the mirror when opening it, I discovered the underside of the drivers door looks like a scene from “when blackheads attack.” I’m not sure how the top of the door would get...

Summer break has arrived so the first thing I’m doing is installing new cat whiskers on the front door windows.

Ok, I"ll read the FSM about tweaking the vent frame. There's a lot of play in the whole assembly. I can move the glass up and down about a half inch and the regulator parts go with it. Could be wear in the whole thing allowing it to sag.

It’s about 3/8 of an inch at the top and bottom. Seems to be even all the way from the top to the bottom.

The front door glass on the passenger side of my 66 Newport is about a half inch lower in the rear and then it is in the front. I didn’t see anything in the FSM about adjusting that. Does anyone have any insight on how that can be remedied? The gap creates wind noise and allows water to leak in...

The bead is just slightly pushed in where the dent is Probably a 16th of an inch.

I'm taking the front door panels off of my 66 Newport 2 door in order to replace the cat whiskers, make some adjustments to the glass alignment, lubricate the window regulator and door locks, replace the armrest bases and replace the cracked/missing window crank spacers. While I have it all...

We've got a "wheel" repair shop here in town that I"ll take it to on Monday and see what they want. I'm guessing $50 . . .

Wouldn't a tire shop be able to do it?

Picked up this set of four 15 x 7“ wheels from a 80s Fifth Avenue. Just noticed there’s a bit of a dent in one of the rims. Can it be repaired?

Did our beautiful Slab Sides have anything to keep the rear seat belts from sliding down into the crack between the rear seat back and seat bottom when new? Or was it just such a tight fit that they wouldn't slip down and get lost in "Narnia?" Perhaps my rear seat bottom has too big a gap . . .

Thanks everyone. I thought I saw on one of the "wheel identifier" sites that some Fifth Avenues came with 5 x 4" bolt patterns, so I was confused. From what I'm reading here, they are all 5 x 4.5", with the 3 nubs for dog dishes, and are 15" x 7". Hoping to pick them up by Monday.

Will 15" wheels off of a mid 80s Fifth Avenue fit a C Body. Supposedly they are 15" with a 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern. I don't know if it's an M-body or an R-body, and the salvage yard is confirming they are 5 x 114.3mm and not 5 x 100mm. Also hoping they have the 3 "nubs" for dog dish hub caps...

Someone on FarceBook made a video for me, so I’m good. Thanks all.

Hey friends, I’m hoping somebody out there with a 65 or 66 two-door hardtop can post a video on YouTube (or similar) showing how their manual rear quarter windows go up and down. Looking to get mine working just right, but I have questions about the way they are supposed to operate. They do some...
