My 73 is an October 72 car and seems to have been born before a lot of switching over:
- Late doors with scissor lifts and no reinforcement bars - Aluminum threshold plates - Early window cranks - Silver dot instruments - bright metal windshield washer nozzles Never heard of a 73 with cable lifts....how much earlier than October 72 did they make 73's??

Getting back to the original problem I have also struggled with the window parts not lining up. I have made many adjustments and pretty much gave up and purchased one of Perry's umbrella covers if it has to sit out in the rain. And have been carrying a towel. Long before Arthur Dent.
I was hoping this thread would come up with the Ultimate Answer to this problem.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) My '73 had a build date of 9/72 #2387 and is the same as above. also early rain tray, gas cap and probably other things. Alan Caldwell had an early 73 2-liter that he ordered new. The transmission was a side-shifter with a tail-shift end-cone. --DD When my side shifter trans was done Dr. Evil noticed that the syncro bits were early parts. same as in the tail shifters |

Getting back to the original problem I have also struggled with the window parts not lining up. I have made many adjustments and pretty much gave up and purchased one of Perry's umbrella covers if it has to sit out in the rain. And have been carrying a towel. +1. I've tried repeatedly to get that "perfect fit" that is totally waterproof. Without lots of success. The drive back from Hershey last year required a couple of towels. I felt slightly better when a member here who is the original owner of his said they were never 100% watertight even brand new. Between seals, window rollers, door adjustments, window adjustments, targa adjustments, etc.. etc. there lots of things to go wrong. I've redefined "success" now as keeping most of the rain out, and I try to use Perry's cover before a good rain or snow. |
