My one on a 1941 62 Coupe Convertible is broken. Does the 1947 fit? Thanks for info!

Have to look up/compare the two part numbers, but I don't have early info.   ?'s in the realm of a modification, which is another site.
Assuming you're talking about the frame and not just the glass, I'd suspect the broken one could be repaired.   They can be rechromed after metal repairs.

Different part numbers as well as different frames. A word of caution. If you do get your 41 frame repaired, make sure the plater is aware that the 41 as well as the 42-47 window frames will tend to warp when re-plated. I had a 47 frame warped so spend some time finding a plater that has experience plating vent window frames.    Bill

Thanks for your ideas, but these frames can´t be repaired (welded), because the zink diecast is not weldable. You have to make a new casting, maybe from bronze. Big deal! See picture, Manfred

I would say that is repairable. There are some excellent shops that have fixed worse.      Harry
