Re: 39 ford
Most likely your mechanism needs to be lubed. Do you know the last time it was done?

Re: 39 ford
Sometimes the arms tend to catch through the slots.
You can feel them under the dash. Also some WD40 or similar may help lubricate the crank mechanism - again probably need to do it from under the dash. |

Re: 39 ford
That's me on the left, my Gfather in front of me, we were at his farm in the Ozarks of AR. I was about 5 then (1949/50) so, I really don't remember but, my guess would be a chicken hawk.
My dad (not in the pic) worked at Meyer and Welch (authorize Ford Rebuider), at that time and the car had a 48 engine in it.

Re: 39 ford
If your going to lubricate anything do not use WD-40 it is not a true lubricant. It is Water Displacement product. Lots of much better true lubricants to use.

Re: 39 ford
With this in mind I would disconnect windshield from mechanism and see where it is sticking. If it is the mechanism it should be removed for inspection and lube. Over time the gear gets worn and may need to be replaced. In meantime use a helper to push windshield from outside when closing.

Re: 39 ford
Thank you Terry! Any locksmith or clock repair guy will tell you never spray WD40 in a clock or lock.
A few years ago a car collector I was working for had a ‘61 Lincoln that you had to jiggle the ignition key to turn it on. So I gave it a shot of WD and it never worked again, even one time, until I took the switch to a locksmith. It works pretty good on window channel though. And kills termites. |

Re: 39 ford
My '35 had a similar issue......a bit of white lithium grease solved it.......now cranks in/out with ease.

Ah ah.....not so fast, there. The TV series didn't begin 'til '52. But the character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, and first appeared in Action Comics #1, a comic book published on April 18, 1938. So....MAYBE it could'a been....? DD |
