Guest mark wysatta Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 If anyone knows where one would find the window seal kit for a 1956 Buick Special, Riviera(model 46R) 2 door hard- top with no post, I would very much appreciate it. This and a Transmission Dip stick filler tube are keeping me from going forward with my renovation on this car. It seems as ifparts for this Car are as rare as Hen's teeth and would liketo chat with anyone that has this car. Thanks ! Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Welcome to the AACA Discussion Forum.I can't help you with your Buick, but....You need to take a look at the other discussion where you asked about the transmission dipstick. Mr Earl has offered to send you one if you give him your address. You can check out his offer in the following discussion:http://forums.aaca.org/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/511973#Post511973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scott Roberts Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Mark, I have a 58 46R I found mine at www.steelerubber.com good quality parts. They have a good selection of just about any seal you need. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mark wysatta Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Thanks, Scott! I'll check it out. All the glass places aretelling me they are afraid of bending the chrome frame aroundthe windows and would have to break the glass to get it out,leaving them no pattern to cut the glass with. So I'm thinking I may need to get the chrome window frames as well. So goes the life of guys like us who have these old beauties.Thanks again for your help, Mark.

Guest Scott Roberts Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Mark, I pulled the chrome frames off my windows without much trouble just takes patience. Lay the glass perectly flat and saturate the rubber with silicone for about two days (remove the screws first). Then gently pry the seam of the frame apart at the corner. Then tap the trim with a plastic hammer from the end only and it will work it's way off the window just keep the window flat on the bench and you should have no trouble. As far as a glass patern is concerned I found a gentleman out west that has a patern for most flat windows. He quoted me about $250.00 plus SHfor all six side windows and he will use a tinted laminant if you want. He does not put the safety stencles on the glass, but you can have someone else do that if you need to. I'm on a different computer and can't remember the link so I'll post it later tonight.

Guest Scott Roberts Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hey Mark, I belive it was www.bobsclassicautoglass.com . Give them a call. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mark wysatta Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Appreciate you taking the time to let me know that. RelacingTwo Quarter panels and one front side window may cost me more than I paid for the car with the quotes I been given for theseals,sweepers, glass etc. Not all glass places want to dealwith old cars like we have. If I can get past this challengeI can start on another phase of restoration, something easy like putting fuzzy dice on the rearview mirror, Ha!
