Hi Paul,
The windows are fairly straight forward. The
frames are aluminum and held together by 5:40 thread screws (for the most part)
the window channel is lined by a strip of cotton (originally) webbing that
Rory sells. The new webbing is nylon (?) The top of the window channel is lined
by a strip of felt. The triangle fixed window in the front of the frame
(Like a vent window except it doesn't open) has a thin piece of rubber on each
side of the glass before it is slipped into place. The rear of the window has a
piece of ribbed aluminum (cosmetic) that encases a piece of plywood
(spacer) that is slipped into place. The bottom of the window channels go into
the doors and have a slight bend at the bottom. these channels are
fastened into place by screws at the bottom to a piece of really thin angle and
then to plywood fiberglassed to the bottom inside of the door. The window
channel is also fastened to the top of the door by brackets. The front bracket
is an aluminum angle and the rear bracket is slightly more complicated. The
windows are specific to Marcos. My car has glass windows but some cars have
Plexiglas. I think the cars came with glass originally. That is about it. If you
will email me your address (off line) and any specific questions that you might
have I will try to answer them and will send photos of the windows in my 1966
Marcos 1800 chassis # 4079.

least attempt most of the tasks, I am stumped by the structure and
replacement of the internal workings of the pull down windows. Mine
have rotted completely and I wondered if anybody had either
drawings, information or could advise a supplier of this structure?
Has it been purloined from another car or was it a Marcos-Own
produced item??
Any help gratefully received
