Miguelg510 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi, when I bought my car the passenger side vent window frame was broken. Looking for replacement. I’ll buy the whole door if I have to. Please help. Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgreen Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Rick at R&D Chrome (423.543.1722) can fix your old vent frame, then rechrome it. He advertises in Hemmings, too. These frames are difficult to find, so an expensive repair is sometimes the only avenue.

Miguelg510 Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 I never had the piece that broke off... I feel sorta hopeless lol. I’ve been looking so I know you’re right about hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgreen Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The frame for the 40 fits at least two years. Have you found the years that are compatible? Also check Cadillac and Olds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguelg510 Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks for this man! I'll keep hunting. I heard the Buicks before the war and right after are basically the same since they only had the moulds from before Pearl Harbor... so that would make sense.

Vince76 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Did you find the vent frame? I have one if you are still looking. I also have a complete windshield frame. Send your email address if interested. I can send pics. I'm in the Albany NY area. Vincent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince76 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I do not have that frame any more. However I may have some in the near future. I am bidding on 2 convertibles. One 47 and one 48. I do not know the condition of the frames. I will let you know if / when I get the cars. Vincent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin M. Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hello Vince76, did you have any luck with the 2 Buick convertibles you were bidding on? Still looking for parts. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
