68 pop out windows

68 pop out windows - 02/29/12 06:22 AM

My 68 roadrunner came in boxes. So after getting most of it together I decided to install the popout windows this week. After redoing the units they don't fit. I now see that Dodge and Plymouth are different. From the bottom end of the metal strip that the glass attaches to to the end of the glass is 22.5 inches. Is this a Dodge part? Also if it is I had the clasps rechromed. Are the plymouth clasps different than the Dodge? Will the part that looks like a large C at the end of the clasp also be different or can I use the clasp and large C on the new popout windows that I think I will have to find?

My windows are already in, so I cant measure them properly.
Dodge windows are longer then Plymouth, since the car is a bit longer in that area..
The clasps are repopped and I think all are the same including A body.

They are much harder to put in that they look.

I would have thought the plynouth were longer windows. Can you message any area so I can compare. Middle of the hinge to the end of the glass? That would give me an idea. Thanks.

My 69 Bee is a post car with the pop out glasses. I can measure it for you. One glass is on the car and the other got busted. So when you get ready to sell the Dodge glass, I might be interested in it (as long as it is not tinted). Do you have pictures of exactly what I'll need to measure?

Got a call from someone that has one plymouth popout for sale. His measurements were 14", 26" and 27". That's the length of the stainless piece that acts as a hinge cover, the bottom of that piece to the extreme outer edge of the big C and the top to the same location. Mine are 14", 25 1/4" and 26 1/4" which I think will be the same as yours. My large C numbers are 2842620 and 2842621, the part that attaches to the large C is 2841018 11059 (both sides) and the part that attaches to the window is 2841020 42989 (both sides). Yours are probably the same. If someone has a Plymouth popout and latch out I would appreciate if you can check the measurements and your latch numbers. Would like to know if Dodge and Plymouth used the same latches.
