window frame

Post by mipstien »

the window frame that is built into the top it has obviously 3 sides for the glass windows. what im looking for is the metal pieces that surround it. does anyone know where to get these pieces? mine are rusted and because they are so thin they just aren't healthy anymore. if i could get those pieces (or make them) i wouldn't need to buy another top cause the frame is in good condition.

Can you clarify which frame you are looking for?? A pic may help. :)

What year is that from? I have two or three cars. I probably have the whole item including the glass. I'm not sure what part it is you really need. Is it the rear side window? Driver side? Where are you located?

my car is a 1981 cs0
the top if its on the car the piece im looking for is the piece that actually touches the body underneath the window. its essentially the whole triangular window frame. if you can picture that part? i'd like the whole top but im looking for a slightly cheaper alternative to buying a complete frame.
i am in East Tennessee.

I just looked at mine and they actually need media blasted too. Another job added to the list. I have to see what shape they are in after blasting to see if they're worth selling. I'll need some time. If someone else has one. Go for it. IF not I'll get back to you in a week or two.

yeh im gunna need both sides as they are both rusted through cause they are so thin.
obviously if i can find a good price one the whole setup i'd be happy to do that cause i will have to build the pieces otherwise.

so does anyone have any idea where to purchase a top skeleton?
