Today is Friday 13th and all so I should have expected a few things to go a bit squiffy.

I already knew I needed a new surround for the driver side 1/4 light window in my '67 Deluxe due to the locking catch is a bit flimsy, however today the passenger side 1/4 light actually snapped off at the bottom pivot.

The glass on both windows is fine but I am having trouble finding the metal surrounds for them anywhere on the net, can anyone help point me in the right direction.... please :lol:

... in addition to this, I noticed today that some bastard has put the deepest scratch imaginable in the drivers side door. Verticle as well so I can only imagine it was deliberate....

Anyway, if any one can help with the aforementioned parts that would be great, also if there is anything I should be aware of when fitting/replacing these please let me know.

A

I would probably have a pair of quarter vents complete with frames, but the triangular window rubbers need replacing as usual.
Will check tomorrow.

Really? I take it, this means they're rare as hens teeth to buy from parts suppliers?

That would be great if you do. Yeah I expected the rubbers would need replacing too.

Thank you :D
