    Good afternoon.. I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction to find 1 or 2 original or aftermarket 1./4 wing windows for a 1973 GTS? I've had no luck! The drivers side has a chip where the locking latch goes so it will no longer stay adhered.

    I prefer to replace just the one side with rubber if possible or both if i need to use aftermarket ones so they match. Thank you!

    Shaughnessy had a few last time I asked him. He even sent me a couple. I sold one on to an fchatter along with a bunch of other leftover stuff I had.

    Maybe he'll see this and offer it to you.

    I'm sorry I can't recall who it was.

    Alternatively, have safelite or one of the other window companies REPAIR it. Then re-attach the latch AND NEVER USE IT AGAIN.

    Almost no matter what you do, it's not going to work properly unless you spend a lot of time and money on it, or get the wraparound clip for the closer.

    This is the best solution. You can keep looking for a better quarter window. Many quarter windows have a bit of glass missing where the latch was.

    Thank you... for the info. I did consult with some glass companies. and i don't get the feeling if they repair it will last. We drive the car often and do want everything to function as it should.

    I think the best route to go is to get 2 new windows with the drilled holes for the lock.

    Still looking to buy!

    I had a broken hinge on my gt windwing and Rob(Nouvalari) told me that the Fiat x19 had the same windwing and I found an entire assembly on ebay for about 20 dollars
