A-37118 Windshield Finger Clip (Pull) Paint Question
On the M28-29 Finger Pulls, it specifies they were painted in the RG&JS, however it does not specify if they were Windshield Frame color, -or Black.
While I have seen them painted both in Black and the Windshield Frame colors, does anyone have a definitive answer (i.e.: proof) as to what is correct or authentic? |

Re: A-37118 Windshield Finger Clip (Pull) Paint Question
I believe I heard somewhere that only very early open vehicles had black windshield frames, probably a carry over from the model T's. I am not 100% sure when the transition occurred, which is probably what you are questioning. On page 14-11 it says only vehicles mfg in 1927 had black enameled frames.

In the Stds, it speaks that some Clips had screw heads that were ground smaller and the screw was painted with the frame. This would make sense (-at least for me ) for the Clips and Screws to be Windshield Frame color IF it was painted as an assembly. The however in this is, the operative word in the Stds' verbiage states, "some" were painted with the frame which likely means that not all Clips were painted with the Frame. For those, one could assume the Clips were dipped Black and used a Raven or Unfinished 10-32 Screw (A-20211-S3) to attach the Clip to the Frame. That is what I am wanting feedback on. |

I would sure think, like you, that the finger pulls would be painted along with the windshield. That is what I did for my 29 phaeton. Would Ford install the pulls after the frame is painted - I don't think so! If the info is not in the JG's, you shouldn't be docked points.
