1955 Cadillac window flipper retention clip

[John S]

Hello

Attached is a photo of a part I'm trying to locate. It's a clip that connects to the door flipper on the driver's side. The rear one is broken and I'm looking for a replacement, but I'm not sure what this part is called or where to find one. Typically they're riveted into the flipper itself and I'm not sure of aftermarket versions made. Anyone know what this is called and where I can find one?

John,

Is it the triangular piece that you are looking for, or the spring that hooks into it?
One thing that I've noticed from messing with mine is that other than the length of the flippers themselves, they are otherwise identical to what Chevrolet used for the tri-five models.
Danchuk manufacturing sells the spring kits for those, and they work for the Cadillac as well.

If it's the triangular piece you need, you will have to remove one from another flipper, hopefully a damaged one.
I have a few of the Chevrolet flippers that are not in the best of shape, I can check and see if I have one of the pieces you're looking for.
Where are you located?

Rick
