On my Android it takes a special program to unzip. I'm not paying extra to unzip this info. I'll just wait for when and if I need it. Thanks for the post. John

BELT TRIM FASTENER CLIPS.

Please see the attached photos. These are the clips that attach the Belt Trim to the car.

Does anyone know of a source for these?

If there is no source, what have ya'll used instead of these (if any were missing) when redoing a car?

[Roger Zimmermann]

Pat, try www.restorationspecialties.com they have many, many fasteners. You can also take flat stainless steel, weld of silver solder a stud if you have access to the necessary tools.

Quarter Window Question

Attached is a photo of the quarter window assembly. My question regards the two window posts that slide in the track. There is a grove for a retainer clip. Can anyone tell me what they are retaining to hold the posts in the track?

Hi Pat,

I might be wrong but just like the door window glass I think there are supposed to be sprung nylon track buttons clipped over each of these posts to hold the window assembly in the trackway;

Ford would have called these "channel roller assemblies".

Mark, you're probably right, but the drawing in the Technical Manual has been throwing me. The drawing of the clip looks like the roller clips, but the drawing of the "roller" looks like two washers.

Here's hoping Holger weighs in on this.

I will look for it tomorrow.

[Mark Norris]

Hi Pat, I see what you mean. Note when you pull the clip out of the roller (in order to fit the roller) you end up with two washers, a spring and the nylon center. On your drawing you can see the clip right above the "washers". Page 285 for the rear quarter windows does mention in step 14 "remove the spring retainers (ie. what I called the clips) from the roller assemblies" when removing the glass.

Hopefully Holger has a photo from the strip down.

Mark, the window posts may have rollers, but if they do, they are not the same as the rollers on the regulator arms.

Please see the attached photos.

Photo #1 shows the rear quarter windows and the two posts.

Photo #2 shows a regulator post (L) and a window post (R). The regulator post is longer and has a smaller diameter 7/16" than the window post 13/32".

Also the notch for the retainer clip is at the bottom of the regulator post while the notch is at the top of the window post.
