Reply to: RE: [VAC] 1965-66 Globetrotter Window Hardware
The '65 GT still had the Hehr 1200 series windows. The '66 had the formed
Corning/Phillips windows.
To which you have, and for repair tips on the '59 to '65 Hehr windows see:
http://vintageairstream.com/rr_topics_windows.html
The good news is that you get the hooks from http://all-rite.com/hehrwindowparts.html
They come in red, but you can strip the paint off.
The C shape hinge extrusion will have to be duplicated by a welding or sheet-metal
shop.
A November Mfg date may mean that you actually have a '66 Globetrotter as the model
year started in October, just like the automobiles.
