Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

It appears that the V-8 power window clips are getting scarce. I decided to CAD some up. If anyone is interested in buying some, I can get them made in stainless steel. Retail price will be around $5 each if there is enough interest that I will order 100. Price may change if there is greater interest or lower-than-expected costs. For reference, $5 ea. + shipping is the current price for NOS (where available) but these should be higher quality, being made from stainless steel instead of the original carbon steel.

There have been a couple threads over the years of people asking for some, since they do break or wear out occasionally.

Here is a drawing of the CAD part. Please let me know if you are interested, and how many. I believe there are roughly 15 used per car (4 on the master sw. and 3-4 on the others). At this rate, we need only a few interested parties to order some, and for 15 at a time I can likely will be able to do some better than $5 ea.

I might be interested for my Clipper once I see what its switches need but yours look a bit different than some NOS ones that I have. The longer side on mine doesn’t have the tang but instead has a bump like those on the switch in this photo.

The door switches also use four but one of them in the photo I posted above is missing.
