Default I finally got a removable rear window!

I finally have a removable rear window and a new seal for making the conversion in my 73. Anybody have some latches, bottom plates & interior trim? Does anyone sell the latches new or aftermarket? I've never seen them listed anywhere.

I bought all the pieces I needed for my conversion at Paragon. Here is a thread I posted at a 77 vette site I frequent, and it lists all the parts I bought (with links to where they sell them) and how I did the installation.

:iagree: Paragon has the bottom plates and the plastic insulators, they are about $30 for all four pieces.

They also have the latches for about $30 each.

You can either try and find used upper panels or cut yours.

That should be all you need. I only put the window in when I wash the car. :D

Hope this helps.

It's in! Parts arrived today. I'm going to try trimming my panels. It doesn't look too tough. Now I need to look for a tray to store it in. New seal was kind of a pain to install.

Thanks everyone for the parts help.

I wouldn't even worry about the tray.

The window sits perfect on the wheel wells.

I have a tray leaning against the wall that I have never found the need to install. Plus I do not have the hinge brackets for it.
