I have never replaced the wind wings (ventilating windows). They actually look much easier to do than the rolling panes. The Packard Shop Manual gives a 'short method' that does not remove the rolling window or regulator mechanism.

But, this winter, you will have to take everything out to replace the runways for the drop glass windows. On my 41 Clipper, a runway for each drop glass windows is attached to each wind wing frame, front and back. It may be different in your 41.

I will pass through KC tomorrow going to a family funeral in Bolivar. We will pick up our kids and grandson at KC Airport.

Last time I was through KC was in June. I really enjoyed PAC Nat'l Meet Branson. Midwest Packards were wonderful hosts.
