Hey guys, you guys have been really helpful so far. So i'm doing final assembly on a sixty eight coronet, five hundred convertible, and I took the car apart two years ago, so some things are a little fuzzy. I'm working on assembling the quarter windows, and they do seem to be a little different, then regular coupes. I'm wondering if anybody out there has some pictures of the complete assembly in a car all the tracks and arms and everything? I know it's a tall order, i have an original parts book which has a diagram. But it's not exactly the easiest thing to pin down with what roller goes where and there's a couple of different kinds. I wish I had taken pictures before. I took it apart that was dumb, but maybe somebody's kinda got a car, they're assembling, and they've got these back together and They can shoot a couple of picks down the channel? I've got everything laid out on the ground here, but I just need some prompting on which arm goes where and kind of what it looks like. I have the slide rollers, they are just soaking in mystery oil currently. Thanks in advance

These pictures are from two different cars, but both '68 Sport Satellite convertibles. They are mostly reference photos for initial re-installation. Sorry if they don't seem to make much sense, but they may be helpful regardless.

The gold car is a manual window and the white car is power windows (pictured below).

thank you so much pete! That helped immensely! I got them all in. Is it just me or are these conv qtr windows a royal pain to get lined up with door glass?

Alignment of the quarter glass with door glass was one of my biggest headaches on the 70RR vert. Driver side was tricky but eventually got it aligned. Pass side was complicated by a long ago collision that caused PO to replace door and quarter panel. Never could get pass glass to align, got it close and called it a day (more like a month).

Sounds like the exact scenario I went through on a friends 70 RR Vert...Passenger side had been hit pretty hard, new quarter, new door... messed with it for a couple weeks & threw in the towel...
