64 Coupe Rear Window Leak

[Allan P.]

I need to fix a leak on the rear window of my 64 coupe. I have tried to find a "How To" book and or diagrams with step by step instructions but have found nothing. Do these diagrams exist? Does anyone know where I can find and purchase the rear window diagram so I can take it apart and fix the leak. Any help would be appreciated.

Allan -

The detail for the rear window installation is shown in your '64 Assembly Manual (UPC 1, sheet C16.00), and is covered in more detail in the "Body" section of the 1964 Corvette Shop Manual Supplement.

John,
Thank you for the information. That's what I was looking for. I think I will order the screw sets, setting rubber and, all the other necessary hardware and take the car to the Glass-Pro and let them do it. I will keep a photographic journal of the repair. Thanks again.

When you take it to the professionals, make darn sure they reinstall the rubber blocks (about 1"x1/4"/1/4") around the perifery of the glass. If they fail to do this there is a very good chance the chrome trim will not fit correctly.
