Re: '36 Phaeton top/windshield seal
Sorry not to get back to this. My wife fell and cracked her tibia and we've been consumed by medical stuff and a disrupted household. Stay tuned though, and thanks for all the comments.
John

Re: '36 Phaeton top/windshield seal
Hi DavidG and others,
The shear mention of the 1936 Club Cabriolet in post # 12 raises the hair on my neck. How does this gem ('36 Club Cab.) differ in this location from the 35-36 Phaeton? I do have the thin metal plate that covers the header but the fabric was trashed. Thanks, Bruce/CT

Re: '36 Phaeton top/windshield seal
I differ to Don Rogers as I have no first hand experience with a Club Cabriolet nor a '36 body parts catalogue with me at present.

Re: '36 Phaeton top/windshield seal
Bruce, Here is a side by side comparison of a cabriolet/Conv sedan header and a roadster/phaeton header. The Cab header is more complex. There is a full metal cover on the bottom of the header bow that fits into the groove on the top of the cabriolet windshield header. this and a rubber gasket seals the header bow to the winshield header. The roadster/phaeton by comparison uses a canvas weather seal attached to the header bow and its sits on top of the windshield frame.

Thanks. Now I know why I didn't have a canvas weather seal. Bruce/CT

Re: '36 Phaeton top/windshield seal
I just found this thread on the metal piece used on your roadster. Do you or anyone have pictures of the metal piece application on a 1936 Cabriolet?
I realize it is 5 years later but........ Thanks |

Re: '36 Phaeton top/windshield seal
The photo on the left in Don Rogers' last post (#25 above) shows at least part of a cabriolet's steel header panel.

Here are pictures of the header bow and header panel for the 35 and 36 cabriolet and convertible sedans.

Re: '36 Phaeton top/windshield seal
Any upholstery shop with a sewing machine could make it as it is just like windlacing (dense round sponge rubber core tightly wrapped in fabric), in this case top material, sewn together.

Re: '36 Phaeton top/windshield seal
That's my idea and even stick a tiny rubber vacuum line in the canvas to replicate the way it was.
