Reassembling #3610

[Pat Marshall]

I know, I didn't document things when I took the car apart!

Anyway, can anyone tell me the specifications of the fasteners that attach the 2 window rails to the roof?

See photo please.

Pat,

There are three items, here some pics:

Holger, thanks for really great pictures and your effort, but these look like they may be trim finish pieces. I'm looking for the fasteners (screws?) that attach the roof rail sets to the body.

Thanks again for your help.

Pat,

the roof rail trim is not fastened with screws but only clamped on the edge of the roof.

That?s why they are so difficult to disassemble without damaging them.

The photographed items indeed connect the trims with one another.

Edit: sorry, I am on the wrong way, you did not mean the moldings.

[Pat Marshall]

Holger, thanks again for your responses.

I'm not talking about the drip rail covering.

My question regards the two piece assembled rails that form the upper channel for the windows. (1)See Parts Catalog Illustration.

Here they are together (2),

they have holes where fasteners are inserted (3)

to attach them to the car body (4). Also notice the drip rail cover to the right of the channel.

I'm trying to get the exact specifications for the screw or whichever fastener attaches the double rail set to the car. The holes in the car seem to me to be very small relative to the openings for the fastener heads in the double rail sets.

From the sheets supplied by Barry Wolk: those screws had the number 52726-S8 #8-15 x 1/2. The inner side garnish moldings had the screws 52726-S7 #8-15 x 1/2 with washers 44710-S8. Maybe this can help...

Roger:
Good answer. Are those sheets on the forum website? If not, could you please post them. Many thanks. John

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.
