I wanted to order glass for my car and i have a roll down rear window, was wondering if thats the same piece of glass a fixed rear window?

Thanks Kevin

Pretty sure all coupes have roll-down rear windows, so I don't think there would be a choice.

Sedan rear windows have a totally different shape as evidenced by the difference in garnish moldings.

If you have a roll down rear window, it is not the same as the fixed window. Not all Coupes had roll down rear windows, at least for 5W type.

Interesting to learn there were fixed window coupes, too. Does that mean there
is a third type of garnish, coupe sized; but without slots for the rubber bumpers?

Fixed window frames have the same slots, but no rubber installed. Those slots help identify the difference between the Coupe rear window frame and the Sedan rear window frame that does not have the slots.

Gary, I believe that Ford used just (1) piece of glass for all coupe rear windows, 1935 and 1936 fixed or roll down.

Ford lists just one part # for the glass...48-724210-B

Where can I get some rubber bumpers for my roll down rear window?

Gary Tosel · 08-05-2016, 05:09 PM

Bob Drake lists the door window bumpers B-7021444 set of 5 for one window. I believe these are 35 Ford only, since 36 Ford has whisker molding around the window frame. I believe they work for the roll down rear window.

The part number may be only one, but the glass for fixed window is curved the shape of the frame, while the roll down window is square along the bottom for the track for the roll down system.

Gary, Do you have a picture of the fixed rear window glass with the curve? My recent research at The Benson Ford Archives has turned up only the square bottomed glass. I also checked with the fixed rear glass for a sedan and it too had a square bottom edge. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

Regards,
Don Rogers
