    Anyone know of any Info on Removing a Sedan's Side Quarter Windows and Replaced with just One Roll-up Window Gl***?

    Are you talking about the back seat window? You want to replace the gl***?

    Thinking about doing both the front and the back.
    Remove the wing windows (Quarter Gl***) and the original gl*** and replace with a single window.
    Would like them to still roll up and down.
    Sometimes done to rear window where the wing & gl*** are replaced with a stationary one piece of gl***.

    Are you talking about removing the wings and using one bigger piece of gl***?

    I've seen it on trucks and older cars like 40 Fords but never on newer cars but I imagine it can be done.

    I guess I'm old fashioned, one thing I hate about newer cars is the lack of vent windows so you can direct the air where you want it instead of having it coming in along the side of your head.

    I'm with Jeff, you'll miss the versatility of the front went windows. It certainly wouldn't be hard to remove the front vents and fit a single window as it is a rectangular gl***. You would just fix the the front gl*** run to the the door frame or use bailey channel all round like the rear window of a Tudor.
    The rear vent poses a whole different problem as you would need to use some ingenuity. The back edge of the door is only about eight inches high which will mean that the window will be only able to lower eight inches.
    Your idea would probably work for a Tudor but for a Fordor I think you will regret the effort.
    Regards
