Is there anything more frustrating than working on the quarter windows of a Squarebird? I don't think so. The design of those quarter windows is simply diabolical. They never really work right. The channel in the quarter window gets bowed, because it is just pot metal. Worst of all, there is no access. I rarely touch my rear windows on my car, because I know they are so problematic.
When I had my control arms put in, someone must have touch the left rear button. The window got jammed in the halfway down position. I open, the panel and found that eh roller were missing/broken and the small rear track was mission. Luckily I had a spare.
I could not remove the quarter window so I could unbow it. I don't know how I did it in the past. I did install mew rollers and the missing channel, so it now works.
It would have been so nice if they had an access panel for that mechanism. I wonder how they installed that mechanism in the factory. I know many new cars such as Lincoln Town cars have the motor/regulator put in before the door is stamped. The bodies of the Squarebirds were put together by Budd and sent to Wixom. I don't think the regulator was put in then.
Anybody else have experience with there quarter windows and can offer advice?
