Front door glass removal ’66 Polara

I need to remove the passenger door glass on my 66 Polara convertible. The FSM states I have to remove the vent frame and door glass as a unit. I don’t have enough hands.

Is there any way to remove just the vent frame without the window glass? I need to replace the guide shoes and weatherstrip in the front (vent) channel.
Thanks!

C Body wiper arms (off 1966 Polara)

I have a set of non-bright wiper arms that came off a 1966 Polara.

They’re in very good condition, and the springs seem to be ok. I’m asking thirty dollars for the pair, and I Will include freight in the continental U.S from zip 74012 (Oklahoma). There is some tape residue on them that can be cleaned off.

Steering rag joints (Land Rover) for C bodies.

I have four left over NTC3486 steering joints. These are a Land Rover part which has to be slightly modified to fit.

I’d like to get 20.00 a piece for them plus freight in the Continental U.S. These ship from (Oklahoma) 74012. Seems that 10.00 might be the going rate by envelope.

If you’d like to buy all four, I’ll take 15.00 each for them and PAY your shipping, in the U.S.

I only have Paypal. PM if interested.

Wiper issues/ diagnostics 1966 Polara.

Our 66 Polara has the variable speed wipers on it. While we do our best never to drive in inclement weather, the wipers aren’t very reliable, and I’d like to improve on that.

The symptoms are:

1966 Polara 500 Ragtop

I guess I’ll start at the beginning.
Two weeks ago I looked at the car. It wasn’t perfect but it was all there.
The PO really hadn’t driven it much over the last couple of years, and probably did even less work to it other than keep it running.
Strangely, it’s an RL price code car but has a drivers power seat, AC, Tilt tele wheel and floor console. I posted earlier that the engine was a G code 383 2 bbl, but…Surprise! When we pulled off the air cleaner, it was a Carter AFB on the correct…

After reading a couple of other threads on early power steering brackets, I realized my pump had been adjusted wrong.
