Does anyone have a picture of what the rear hole in the rear pop out window mounts to?
It's been a long time since removal, the front attaches to the post but there is nothing to attach the back of the window to.

Acme,
Thanks for the response.
I was actually looking how the back of the window frame hooked to the body. In your pictures, the inside and outside are already trimmed out.
Looking at the project again, The area in your pic that is covered at where the end of your handle is about. I noticed between outside body and inside one side had what I now call a bracket and the other side didn't. When I first got the car, It was full of rusty junk parts. I kept them all and figured out placement of most of them as I went along. the piece pictured below has always puzzled me but yesterday I figured it out. It is the missing bracket. It looks like the spot weld gave out along the way. The hole on the bottom hooks to the body return and the second hole attaches to the hidden part of the window frame.
Would you mind sending another picture of the chrome trim that goes around the pop-out window? Mine doesn't seem to fit and I might have the wrong idea.

Thanks for the window trim pic. For some reason, my trim is different. The trim piece in my pic, it appears to me, to mount on the inside with a screw hole at the back. Although on both sides there is no hole to mount and it fits kinda funky on the curve. I have not tried to bend it in completely yet.

Those are for the M31 Belt Moldings. That's a pretty rare option on a post car. That might explain why there are no holes - they may not be for your car. If they really are from your car, then there should be a corresponding piece of trim for the tops of the doors as well.

Hey, sorry I haven't answered until now, wife needed a vaca so out of town for a bit.
Thanks all for the pics and the knowledge. 68 man last two pics are what I have. I need the "belt line trim" because the door trim matches up and there are holes in the top of the door for install. My car is a 68 and Acme sounds correct about the M31 belt molding but I do not have the post molding. I found a replacement "belt line" with a small blemish for $175, ouch. any other place to look besides ebay.
Thanks again for the help. The knowledge given on this site is priceless.
(what is M31?)

M31 is belt molding code for '69 - '70. Until this post I didn't know that your car was a '68. No idea what that code is for '68 or if the molding is perhaps part of another trim package. I'm a '69 RR Guy. Maybe someone that is better versed on '68's can tell you which code (should be three digits) calls out the belt molding on a '68.

Got my replacement "belt line trim" piece, new condition for only $235 (only) Have the
missing bracket for window support installed.
What do I use for adhesive or weather strip between the trim pieces and the body?
Gasket adhesive?
