71-73 fastback question
Does anyone know if a quarter window regulator out of a coupe or convertible will work in a fastback? THe back windows in my 71 don't roll down and it drives me carzy! Converting to power windows would be nice, but finding a complete setup seems imposible.

On page 166 of the NPD 2006 catalog, they list the 71-73 quarter window regulators without specifying coupe, vert or fastback, so it would be a pretty good assumption that it will fit. Just remember that you have a left hand and a right hand regulator.

From what I remember in the Mustangs Plus catologue(SP), the set up for the power window conversion wasn't too bad.

In order to make the FB windows roll down, you'd have to do A LOT of fabrication. It'd probably be easier to make a pop-out windows, much like T-tops.

That is one of many corrections that NPD needs to make in their catalog. It lists the 65-66 as for a coupe or vert, but not a fastback. But, the 71-73 is not listed as model specific. However, the Texas Mustang catalog does list the 71-73 as for coupe and vert only. I wonder where he can find a regulator for a fastback?

the 71-73 quarter windows are fixed. unless someone added power windows to them. my dads 71 doesnt have it and my dads 73 had power windows and locks but the quarter windows didnt move
