I would like to remove the quarter windows from their frames and also remove the latch from the window so that I can tint the glass in a more professional manner. Does anyone have experience, tips or advise on this? Thanks.

I had the same problem. It appeared to me that the new rubber seal i used had a bit of a hump to it so it did not allow the trim to catch the clips. I took a new box cutter blade and trimmed it down, particularly around the corners, and got it low enough for the trim to catch. Cruzzar's method might be better, i dont know. I would try his method on the new seal while it was still off the car if possible.

Thank you RacerX. I didn't see that the original dash had been cut or hacked up so i was sure i didnt need a new lower dash. What you say makes sense. It looks like i would need to install the radio in this bracket first and then install the bracket and radio as a unit.? If anyone has a picture of this area with the bracket installed or the radio and bracket installed, i would still love to see it. Thanks for the responses.

I'm trying to revive the dash and controls area of my stang. I purchased a new radio bezel and new "made to fit" upgraded radio so i could do away with the previous owners home made radio bezel and din stereo. After removing the old stereo, i see that there is really nothing there to support a stock type radio. I understand that there is supposed to be a bracket in there and saw pictures of it on the net but i didnt see any pictures of where or how it is situated in this hole. Any help out there?

I got one out of an 89 1/2 ton, (302) truck. Got almost a year on it now and it seems bullet proof.

I had this exact same problem months back. Just by chance, while the engine was running, i jiggled the wires behind the ignition switch and the engine faultered. The engine and electronics would begin to shut down with each tug of the wires. I removed the ignition assembly and looked at the ignition electrical harness and saw some burned areas against the plastic backing. Long story short, i found a new harness on ebay, replaced it and absolutely no problems since then. Apparently it was a problem for the 69 year model and Ford started making an improved version for replacement, or so i'm told. Cured my problem.

He out and out lied about the trunk lid. There is no way he "honestly" didn't realize the rust issue. No way. PM him and let him know that based on his description you bought the part. Now that the issue is known to you and him, he needs to do the right thing and give you a full refund. The right thing for him would be to refund your purchase price and to pay the postage back. I suspect this will not happen. You can either post the picture of the part on the forum he advertised on, his description of the part, and just let your subject title be, "Buyer Beware," or just see what you can recoup from him and let it go. You were trusting and you learned a lesson. Trust but verify. Get pictures of all areas. If in doubt, do without.

Thanks for the information, Trinitys. If you run across a picture of the installed switch you described, please post it for me. I drive my car almost every day and in the cold months, that back window fogs up something fierce. I hate to drive with the window down until it clears up so i will install one of the defoggers as soon as i can find a deal on one. Thanks again.

Thanks Hans.

Anyone have the rear defroster option or perhaps add one? I would like to add a stock one but would certainly putting one in from another car. Does anyone have a picture of where the stock defroster control switch is mounted? Any ideas, pictures or suggestions would be appreciated. Merry Christmas!

If you have a stock distribution block with proportioning valve, then there is no adjustment. If you have an aftermarket one, then its simply a matter of twisting the knob until you get even braking.
