1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration

What a @#$%^ of a job it was to get the quarter window mechanisms out!!! Manual was completely wrong. Even after removing the mechanism, I have no idea how they installed that in the car on the assembly line in probably less than 60 secs!!!

Note the "dip line" that shows how far the car was dipped in the vats on the assembly line.

Ya , Its a real ***** to get back in as well!! When I took mine out, I cleaned , wire wheeled , and completely relubed every part and piece, replaced the rollers and ensured the tension springs were ok. You probably know this but just in case, make sure all the tracks and surfaces the rollers travel over are free from burrs and casting flash. Im sure that's why mine were worn out as they were really bad. Guess they didn't think these parts would be around 50 years later LOL ! Also, I put everything back together before I painted the car as all this mechanism is hidden and you will most likely end up scratching the car trying to put this misery back in place after the car is painted. Good luck with it.
