Operating Centerdoor Windows
I have seen pictures of Centerdoor T's with the side window down. We have a 1920 Centerdoor, with a strap that hangs off the base of the window. How do you operate the windows?

They are similar to these TT straps:

Maybe this is more help. I don't have a Centerdoor.

Re: Operating Centerdoor Windows
We have a '19 - you need to pull up on the strap (carefully) to get the window & base off the small ledge holding the window up in place then simply pull inboard a smidgen & lower the glass. I believe the door window has or should have a couple holes in different spots for adjustment - just the door windows on our car, the rest are up or down.

Re: Operating Centerdoor Windows
I have a 1919 centerdoor as well. Only the door windows have the holes in the straps to adjust the windows.

Re: Operating Centerdoor Windows
Thank you. So the way I understand it is the strap holds the bottom of the window inside the door. The window frame has a tab on the inside that hooks up with a hole on the strap that holds the window. Did I get it?
