Re: 47 Packard Rear Vent Glass Removal

On the regular sedans, one edge is open so the glass can slide out of the frame. That appears to be a long wheelbase car which was built by Henney. I find very little mention of Henney parts or procedures in the regular literature so perhaps that frame is something they built.

I find it hard to believe it wouldn't come apart but with a semi hand built car you never know. There was a TV show where Russian craftsmen built a chrome frame for some windows which ultimately was one piece. After the pieces were made, glass inserted and frame joined all the finishing was done after the glass was in.

I expect the same assy was used on LWB cars thru 50 but unless someone else has been there already you may be on your own to remove the window and see what it looks like. Is there any view near the rubber where you could look inside towards the pivot brackets and see if there is anything that looks like a split or seam?
