I recall to have seen a discussion on the pieces that hold together the chrome frame in the past but could not find the thread. Is it possible to get hold of these?

I have a tin full of these trim bits but I think they're a mix from other cars of the time. I have some for the windscreens of a Marina SDL but I don't know if they will work for side windows. If you give me some dimensions I can check them against some of the corner pieces I have, I might have one that fits.

Great! I will probably take the window out in a couple of weeks and will let you know what the dimensions are so that you can check if you have something.

I THINK SOMEONE ON THE FORUM HAD SOME STAINLESS STEEL BRACKETS MADE TO REPLACE THE RUSTY BRACKETS

Uncle Frank had some made for his ST Coupe. I found the top brackets were the same as the bottom brackets, so used the top ones from a spare set of windows to replace the rusted out bottom ones. You could use the top bracket as a master to have new ones made, if need be.

Thanks for the offer. Got hold of complete windows now so no longer needed
