FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Oldford2 - I have a friend who had two of them. He saw my car and said I should have one and gave it to me

I'll ask him if he wants to part with the other. Mine is in perfect condition. I don't have the clip super referred to but I think it shouldn't be too hard to make one.

There were trim strips used on both Ford and Mercs from '41 thru '48 on the Super Deluxe models. The plain ones carry the prefix 11A, the grooved type is 19A-7042084. I had a '46 sedan coupe with the trim, and was sometimes told "it has to be from a Mercury". It was an original car, so I believe it was stock. The scramble to turn out the '46s after the war was so great, you can find lots of different configurations. If interested, order the fine '41-'48 Club book.

I always thought that the stainless trim on the rear window was only on Mercurys. Am I wrong? Does anyone reproduce it? Thanks John

My 46 Super Deluxe Coupe is supposed to have a stainless trim on the outside of the rear window. It currently doesn't have it but I acquired one and I have a new rubber seal for the window that is made for the stainless piece. How does the procedure differ in this case? Thanks

Almost every seal we buy from any source was made by Dennis Carpenter. His items are top quality. Just be sure to double check that the absolute right one has been shipped. Being "close" doesn't count with these gaskets. We have run into this problem a time or two with windshield seals. Tom has given you the part numbers. If your window has the bright trim, be very careful in both removing and replacing it. The trim is hard to find, and expensive if you do. It goes on after the window is in place. Insert the trim into the seal by starting at the ends, working toward the middle. Rear windows usually join the ends of the trim with a clip, so be sure to keep track of it.

I try to use Drake rubber when possible. It is much more pliable than some of the others.There are two part numbers,11A-7042084(without the groove for the chrome trim) and 19A-7042084(with the groove for the chrome trim).

Thanks very much for the information folks. Which supplier would you recommend for the seal, and is there a specific part number?
