Looking specifically for the one that has the cup over the commutator lever at the bottom up by the radiator. I’ll fix a rougher one to keep it ori...

Re: '16 Centerdoor restore...
I measured our front window opening it’s the same at the bottom as it is at the top. 39 inches and our top wind folds out and the bottom one in.
