Hi all,

In the grand tradition of making excited leaps before checking the depth of the proverbial water [read: cowpie], I started the swap of my 1957 444L fixed rear quarter windows to a later hinged pair BEFORE I had any info on how to do it. I figured I'd have to drill a couple holes in the pillar for the front tab of the window frame, but when I removed the fixed window last night there was nothing but shiny virgin black paint under the moulding and certainly no place for the tab to go.

Now, I've heard that it was fairly popular back in the day to retrofit older PV's with pop out quarter windows. Does anybody know the process? Or can anyone send me a pic of their PV pop outs? Perhaps someone has one apart and can take a pic?...

Thanks for the help!
