: rear sliding window in '70 elky Scoots Sep 23rd, 02, 4:37 PM I'm going to remove the rear window in the camino to try and fix a persistant leak. While at it I thought about putting a slider back in to provide a little ventilation. Anyone point me in the right direction for a decent window? thanks Big James 4XL Sep 23rd, 02, 5:14 PM Forget the slider!! The tilt on the back glass of an Elky is too much for any sliding rear glass. ------------------ ACES member# 5093 Elcaminos are special!

I saw a couple of Caminos that had a slider in them that didn't look that bad. I had the number of the places that sold them but that was a long time back. They were made in California so maybe a member out there knows who has them. ------------------ Never be afraid to try something new. An amatuer built the Ark, Professionals built the Titanic.

How about a sun roof? I'd like to get some ventilation going sometimes. Any luck putting in a sun roof that won't leak?? Any brands better than others? thanks again Big James 4XL Sep 24th, 02, 6:23 PM I don't have a problem with the looks or the practicallity of it but the ones I saw leaked big time! As for a sun roof it's your car do it if you want! But not me! I spent to much time and effort putting mine in decent shape to go and cut a hole in the roof. Besides my AC works great! ------------------ ACES member# 5093 Elcaminos are special!

As much as we all like our piston engines, carbon monoxide still equals bad news. Louie Hammel Cecil Sep 25th, 02, 11:43 AM I just took my slider out to get the car painted. It doesn't appear to be correct for the car, but it's okay. I never open it up, so I'd rather have the single piece... ------------------ Cecil Hawkins San Diego, CA 1971 GMC Sprint "Tourist, go home! And take someone with you!"
