Default Re: '41 PU Rear Window

Is someone willing to show a few pictures of the metal that would need to be cut or trimmed? I'm only familiar with the 1935-39 rear window opening and it would be interesting to see the difference.

Sorry, I can't, I have already installed my non sliding window & moved on....as i recall when the opening was ready there was a vertical brace on both sides of the window that would have needed to be cut out so the sliders could then move out of the opening. I don't remember if it was just those 2 pieces or not, as i said if i would have cut those out, then continued with Bob Drake installation instructions & found something else as a problem I might have faced reinstalling those 2 pieces, was not willing to got here, I am trying to install as many Period Correct options of 1947, was disappointed to not get this one done.....

No problem. I was just curious. On my sliding rear window the glass pains both slide inward, not outward. All that was needed was a clear opening, the same size and shape as the one-piece unit.
