It's been nearly 20 years since I had the rear quarter windows out of my 67 GTX and I started in on my 66 Satellite today as I need to replace the outer window sweeps and removal of the glass seems the best way to do so without mayhem. However, the roller/slide mechanism doesn't look familiar to me at all from memory of my 67 and comparing it to my 66 and 67 shop manuals isn't helping either as it doesn't seem to match either. Seems like my 67 had a big roller that rode inside a C-channel similar to what the shop manual shows. Here are pictures of the roller/slides on the glass.
And here is the drawing in the 66 manual (67 is the same).
Can someone give me some ideas of the steps for temporary removal of the glass with the types of glides that I have. Maybe my memory is foggy or I'm just disoriented. I hate to just start unbolting everything and trying to pry it all out of there.
A second question - not sure if my car was never equipped with down stops or they are just removed/missing on both sides. I sort of question if any were ever installed as I don't see any signs or bolt or washer marks on the window carrier around the slots.
Anyone else find their car lacks these or should they definitely be there?
Any help would be appreciated.
