Vent Window Problems for 69 Charger

[mnewell337@gmai]

After a lot of delays, like moving across the state, I am trying to get my reassembly of my 69 Charger back on track, but have run into a roadblock.

My original vent window assemblies were badly pitted, and I elected to just buy a set of aftermarket ones from Classic Industries. Looks like I made a poor choice. I tried the passenger side first, and it just does not want to go into the door and connect to the mounting points at all. I am not sure if they can be modified to fit like the originals or not. I did a search and found new aftermarket chrome pieces only from Tonys Parts/Vans Parts, and was wondering if any others had purchased them and had success in installing them. Please let me know.

Alternatively, does any one know of a shop that will take the originals, disaasemble them and rebuild them after rechroming the metal?

Regards,
Mike

I’m sure all the A/F suppliers buy from the same scource. I’d return and post a WTB for some clean originals if it were me

Mike I would think they would have to work. Yes originals are the way to go. Did you compare the repops to your originals? Please post a pic if they are really that different from the originals.

Set them over top of your pitted OE's and see what the difference is.... IF any .
