  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

window frames -help- 72 skylark

    What's the deal with the window frames?

    I bought a pair of doors from a local fellow. He told me that the window frames just bolt on... I just took his word for it, but I am down to swapping the window hardware between the doors, and it looks like the frames and tracks are tack welded to the doors. Is this the case, or am I missing something here?
    I know these doors came from a hard top, not a convertible, the thing was sitting in his front yard. So, what's the deal? :Do No:

    Much thanks!

    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    If the windows/glass have frames around them.....it is a 2 dr sedan and not a hardtop. You can NOT install 2dr sedan doors in a hardtop car.

    Sorry for the confusion, I have a 2 door 72 skylark with b-pillars directly behind the doors. Title says it is a sedan... the dude I got the doors from had (I believe) a 71 skylark that looked exactly like mine sitting in his yard, even the color was the same...

    These doors actually mounted up on the car ok, and if I mock up the huge ass windows into the doors (they have no vent window in the front- all glass), it actually looks like they would fit as frameless windows just fine, but I have no tracks or anything on the doors that I received. :Dou:

    (He gave me the windows in boxes, so I didn't really notice the difference until I started the swap...)

    Maybe someone knows of an electric window kit that might come with what I would need to get these huge ass windows to go up and down?
