CharlesBuick Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Does anyone have the dimensions for a 25 Buick Tourer Windscreen frame that I could use to manufacture one. My one is wooden which seems ok but are unsure if it is the correct height etc. Thankyou for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibarlaw Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 We need to know if it is a Standard or Master. The windshield/screen frame is 2" larger on the Master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert_25-25 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Charles, Do you have a photo of what is on your car so that we know what pieces you are missing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlesBuick Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 The bottom section of the windscreen is wood. The top section is steel but has rounded corners (not original ?) The vertical sides are original parts. The overall windscreen height is too high as the canopy pegs should be above the top windscreen line. I think I need to reconstruct the correct size windscreen with correct frame before moving on to the canopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Charles: Thank you. Now we know exactly what you are looking for. Just the 2 piece inner windscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert_25-25 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Glenn, I have not verified that my windshield uprights are parallel. The windshield that I am using is likely a Standard but there may have been some changes by the owner. The top rectangular windshield is 42 3/4" wide. The sides are 10" long. The odd thing is when I measure across where the caps are, I get a width of 41 3/4", and I think the rectangle should not angle in. For location, when the upper windshield is closed, the top of the windshield is aligned with the top of the post. The convertible top locating pin on the posts are the only thing above the windshield. The gap between the glass panes is 3/16" to 1/4". This gap is filled with the rubber that is shaped like the letter 'h". The frame is 1 1/4" wide, and 3/4" thick. The outer side has a slot to hold weatherstripping. The lower windshield is supposed to have a rubber cap over the metal cap. The flat head screws are for the windshield end caps. The fillister screws hold the lower windshield frame. The metal spacers go in the rubber on the lower windshield sides that is 3/4" cross section. The curved weatherstrip at the base of the lower windshield has a flat section that lays on the cowl. The upright supports have rubber pads on the base. Bob's Automobilia has all the weather stripping. Hugh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Hugh I will also measure mine for the 1925-25. The stancheon pins are 42" center to center. The first photos you show are for the "FrankenBuick". Which I believe were 44" pin to pin on the stancheons as is my 1925 Master. The Master upper window has a verticle chanel for a weather strip while us poor Standard owners had none. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert_25-25 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Larry, Thanks for the clarifications. I am always amazed at the subtleties betwen the Standard and the Master. Yes, this is a Master windshield with the top pins at 44" apart that I took the dimensions from. Glenn, Drawing attached if you want to make a sun shade for your 1925-25. Larry and I have both made one of these for our touring cars. In the drawing, the top pins are 42" apart. Hugh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesBuick Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 This information is a great help for me thankyou. On the top part of the windshield that swings do you know the dimension from the top of the horizontal frame to the bottom of glass ? Thanks.
