I got super lucky at a U-pull-it and found a 100% complete exact match for my car, it was at the lot cause it got front-end totaled. But everything I needed was interior and convertible related. (unfortunately it wasn’t leather so the seats were worthless to me) My current regulators were super busted and I had 2 windows held up by zip-ties

Borrowed a friend and ripped the thing apart, and when it got cooler last night I swapped all the new regulators in. This car is special and a new regulator is like $350, so getting all 4 w/ a new cloth top for only $200 was a steal, it just needs some repairs but the cloth is in WAY better shape than the one that’s on there atm.

The hardest part was getting the windows lined up correctly, first issue was fitting the glass to the sleds, I kept my original glass cause the tinting is different, they have to be installed out of the car, but need to be aligned while installed. After doing that there’s a whole process with setting 3 different standoffs in a Stewart platform like arrangement. until it puts slight pressure on the seals both in front of and behind the glass.

And then there was the front left window, which didn’t need the whole regulator, but the track it mounts too… at least I thought.

After installing the new track I noticed the entire mechanism flexes about 1/4" side-to-side when moving. And upon closer inspection, the nylon bushings that ride on the tracks are completely wore out on the new-to-me and old ones. At least the window works now though.

But it paid off and now I don’t look stupid driving down the road with 2 rear windows jutting out when converted.

Next is replacing the hydraulic lifts with linear actuators and a brain. Those cursed Chrysler cylinders fail so often it was a miracle this one worked for the 2 months before a seal exploded and filled the back seats with stinky goo
