jord 5 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Can someone tell me if a part is missing from the frame? I have a spare hole in the gasket and not sure what fills it, the old gasket also had the hole. Is it possibly a drain? 1939 LZ 4 door sedan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
38ShortopConv. 25 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 My 38 LZ. sedan had those flipper windows, about the only part I never got into. Looks quite interesting, quite dinky doo. Mine were sealed up so I left them alone. The rubber seal looked too difficult to obtain and replace. Did you find new rubbers? Would be a safe bet that hole in gasket is a drain, is it part of the window seal? Link to post Share on other sites
jord 5 Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Yes, I purchased them from Boos and it required seaming the gasket, Made a jig to keep the ends together and glued them in place. Worked well. The hole in question is closed at the top and I am concern about it because once the upholstery is in it would be difficult to work with. The old gasket did have it opened all the way through.If it was a drain then where would the water go I never saw a drain hole. Yes I was intimidated with the installation , but once I got into it and with the help of liquid soap it slipped into the frame. Link to post Share on other sites
38ShortopConv. 25 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Well Done. Could drain down inside cavity damping trim panel then on top of wheel well, may have another drain hole lower down. Don't think they worried where it went in those days. May be you could fit a drain hose down to under floor area. It may not leak anyway, would you have it out in the rain much though?

Colin Spong 90 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Your window appears to be correct. Please see attached photo of my NOS 1939 window Link to post Share on other sites
