When I unscrewed the window frame from the riser bar I found there were two connections at both ends of the window frame that connect the top and bottom pieces of the frame. One connector was missing and the other has some sort of
A counter sunk "rivet" that was just loosely inserted into the Connection. Doesnt appear correct.
Don't think a simple nut and bolt is the answer as they would catch and wear on the window channel.
My question is, "What have others done to connect these two pieces together?"
I'm sure this has been addressed before. I'm looking for some cures.

The riser bar rides on the regulator arms . The "bar" then is screwed to the bottom of the frame. The frame has an upper A's well as a lower section that surrounds the glass.
It's the actual type of connector that I'm inquiring about.
I think it's time I spend time learning to post a picture. Someone told me, "a picture is worth a 1000 word". I'm a slow learner........ | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,270 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,270 | OK, I've got the "picture" now.
Those tiny fasteners are not rivets. They are a countersunk nut and bolt affair with clutch heads on them. Classicparts.com carries them.

Someone removed those some time ago and simply jammed in a screw head into only one opening. Gives new meaning to "Jerry-rigging". Hehe
Thanks again for the help. | | |
