1950 Ford F-1 Pickup
Can anyone help with an answer:
I am restoring a 1950 Ford F-1. The winshield opening has metal tabs extendig from the opening edge, two on top and two on bottom. They are a little over an inch long and protrude forward about 1/8". What are these tabs for? Thanks for any help I can get. Larry

They help position the glass in place. They have to be bent down when you install a new weatherstrip and glass. You then bend them back up. They are a pain in the neck to bend back up after a new w/strip is in place. I just went thru this recently when I installed all new glass in my 50 F-1. The back glass is the worst one to do.

Most of the guys who have done this aren't very broken hearted if those tabs get broken off. You will be okay without them.

I guess if I pull the windsheild out again in the future I will just cut them off and not worry about it. |
