Guest imported_bjr Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Does anyone have any info on how to correctly adjust the windows and convertible top on the 54-56 Special's and Century's. I am trying to do that to my 54 Special convertible and there is nothing in the shop manual and just a little on top adjustment in a service bulletin that I have. Is there any sites on the internet on this? Does onyone have any info they could email or fax me? Thanks Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old-tank Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 BrianIf FireballV8 can't help you I can scan the pages and email if you have enough capacity, or send links to a server or post the links here if there is interest.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_bjr Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Willie you can email the info to: brusnak@stcroixpress.comThe windows on my car have never fit correctly, and the top is 1/2 inch lower on the drivers side than the passenger side and does not fit the tops of the winows correctly. I am installing new window channeling now, and want to fix all the mis-alignments. Thanks Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireballV8 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 WillieCan you also email me a copy of what you have at steveclassic@earthlink.net Also Willie do you have a Fischer body manual for the 1955 Buick's?Bjr if you need any more help email me.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_56BuickSuper Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 If this would be the same for a 56 Super, I sure could use a copy. The fact that my windows do not close correctly bothers me to no end. They are close, but leak when it rains and make a lot of wind noise. They were fine before I removed them to replace a side glass on one then clean and lube the motors. I should of had the window frames chromed then, had I known, so I will have to do this again.Dan dand@centurytel.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budd Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Dan, I'll have the 1956 Buick Body Service Bulletin posted up on my website (as soon as I scan it!). Picked it up a few weeks ago from AutoLit on eBay. It has the complete door assembly/disassembly and window adjustment procedures for 1956 Buick Super and Roadmaster. Lot's of good pictures and detail within beyond that of the regular service manual.Budd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 The 50-70 series is the same mostly. If this does not look like yours I can scan the pages form the 50-70 book. Hope this helps. Thie scans are from a 68 page booklet "Body by Fisher, Service News.fisher no. 10 vol 13buick no. 4 1954 scan1 scan2 scan3 scan4 scan5 scan6To print: copy to a file then open with a picture viewer or photo editing software and print from there.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_56BuickSuper Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Willie,Thanks for taking the time and effort to post the scans. I printed them and they are a bit different from the Model 53 that I have. I am in no hurry at this point so I can wait to see what Robert is going to put on his site and go from there. I am also going to try to find a copy of that service manual for my self. Thanks again Willie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_56BuickSuper Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Robert,I visit your site almost daily and I will keep a lookout for the information. You have a lot of great information there and I have used it a number of times already. Thanks for providing the site specific to the 1956 year model. Can you provide me any more information on the service manual like volume #, Fisher # or anything to use to try to locate a copy for myself. I have a Buick maintenance manual printed and on CD, and a chassis and body parts book but I would like to have everything available.Thanks to both you and Willie!Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budd Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 The one I have is titled:Body By Fisher Service News1956: Vol. 15-4 Buick No. 11956 Buick Body Information Foor Door Sedan Super and Roadmaster Riviera.60 pages. I've only seen this one recently on eBay...no others.Front page: http://www.gr8soft.com/1956_service.jpgI should have it up sometime next week. Thanks for the compliment on the website, I'm glad you find it useful. I've been time-challenged lately as I have newborn twin girls at home, so my hobbies have been sidelined for a bit By the way, were'nt you looking for a right side center pillar moulding for your mod. 53? If so, Freman's Auto has one, and was charging $35 for the pair (left and right). http://www.fremansauto.com I need one too, but I'm not in a hurry at this point and can pick one up later (Buick Bonery is local to me).Cheers,Budd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budd Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Dan:Here's the two pages you need for adjustment, to tide you over until I get the rest of it scanned.http://www.gr8soft.com/1956_front_door.jpghttp://www.gr8soft.com/1956_rear_door.jpgCheers,Budd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old-tank Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 BCA members can access other members contact information. Also I cannot supply copies of the body manuals to non-members since in the past some of those monetized the manuals by putting them on eBay. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
