Hi
The chrome catch has been missing off the driver's quarter light window since I bought my 1969 1800S. As a result it doesn't close and it now needs to be attended to. I'm not having much luck finding either a catch or, better still, a replacement window and frame. I've posted it in this forum's Wants and contacted some secondhand parts suppliers but no responses so thought I would place it here too. Annoyingly I have two replacements for the passenger side.
A question relating to this is: has anyone here taken the quarter light glass out of its frame? It looks like a risky business and I don't want to break the glass.
Thanks
Simon
