Default WTB: Removable Rear Window Hardware

Howdy gang... I'm installing a removable rear window in my '75 and though I've got the hard stuff (the window and the tray and bezels) I'm lacking the guide wedges, the rear window guide on body, and most importantly the rear window locks or latches.

Looking for some or all. PM if you have a few you'd be willing to part with for the right price.

Really? Nobody has this stuff? I'd much rather benefit a forum guy than one of the vendors, nice though they may be... Help me out gents.

I got all that stuff at the Carisle swap meets. There is lots of it available, except the tray. You will also need the halo paneling-don't see it on your list.

Thanks Steve... I know they're available in the vendor mags as well, but at a hundy plus per hinge lock, I think I'll keep looking. Maybe.

As for the tray, I have one, but sadly I don't think i can get it, a speaker box, and my t-tops to all stowe in the back. So I'm thinking I'll have to sell the tray. What do you figure it's worth in good condition?

I actually have been trolling Ebay for everything. So far I have the window with frame and pins $ 100 , weatherstripping $ 26 , and the latches $50. Still looking for the other pcs at a affordable price.
Try ebay and craigslist, you will run into a good deal.

Stroh,
I never bothered with the tray since I didn't think it was necessary.
But I'll give you $75

Thanks guys... I'll look to ebay for the pins and weatehrstripping. Dave J has kindly agreed to provide the rest.

I think I'm going to ask a bit more than 75 for the tray as they seem to be so hard to come by (and I paid more than that for it). I'll post everything "extra" that I'll try to unload here later today.

Thanks again for the great leads... You guys rock.

Just an FYI, All the parts needed are not in this ebay ad. It only shows one locking latch, and there are no guide plates and pin guides. The weather stripping is not even usable. Plus its way over priced for having missing pcs.

Paragon has the guide plates at $5 each and the wedges at $11 each. They also have new latches at $50 each.
Corvettepacifica has the guide plates at $5 each and the wedges at $10 each.

So whoevers shipping cost is cheaper shall work.

Welcome.

I am not in a rush myself, so I will keep in search on ebay for a while longer before I hit up a vender.

I have contacted and dealt with Corvette Mac for a long time when you needs original parts. He is a good guy, honest dealer, and reasonable on his part prices, returns, etc. He attends major car shows including Carlisle. I would contact him. He is often on eBay or I can hook you up if you want to reach him directly. Just PM me.
Thanks and good luck with your searches.

Many thanks, my friend.
