WTB rear quarter window regulators for a 1955 convertible

If you have good motors for them that would be great.

I'm updating an old WTB post of mine from 4-5 years ago...

Before I bought the old 1955 Convertible, somebody grabbed the rear window regulators.....they are hard to find.....

I finally found a pair on eBay......eBay has a feature that they'll email you all new postings that have your buzz words...."54-55 window regulators"..

Those emails came to me for years.....finally I recognized one that looked like what I needed....turned out the seller had the regulators for both sides...

I also purchased new motors and they came with the pigtails....

Here are some pictures....they cleaned up nice after the sandblasting....

Just curious,  aren't the convertible  and the coupe regulators the same? Or do the convertible windows go down differently?  I know my 56 coupe windows have an odd  path to follow in order to get all of the window down inside the 1/4 panel.
Are the convertible windows shorter in length than the coupe maybe?

The quarter windows are not the same; the way they go down is different too. Convertible windows have a fixed pivot; the closed coupes don't have that as you can see on your own coupe.

Yes Roger's got it right...

The coupes rear quarter window track has a weird almost "S" shape to it.

The convertible's spins up and down at a fixed point near the upper door jamb.

I remember that now. It's been a long time since I've seen one, even longer since I've seen one in action.
Thanks.
