Re: HYDRO-ELECTRIC CONVERT TOP FAILURE
Progress has been made with a little help from Clark's Corvair. While I thought the armrest/side panels were secured at front and behind seat cushion this is not the case, only the four trim screws facing forward on the panels secure them.

Re: HYDRO-ELECTRIC CONVERT TOP FAILURE
Thanks for that, I had already run across it in my searches. Unfortunately it doesn't yield anything on the way to access the hydraulic rams.

It's used in such small quantities and probably is rarely replaced as to not warrant carrying. I'll c...

64 conv quarter window glass edging needed
I've owned several Corvairs over the years but have just acquired my first convertible, a '64. I'm trying to source the glass edge welt that goes on before the quarter window before the chrome edge strip is attached. Small phillips attaching screw at the bottom of the chrome strip has pulled through...
