Late Series Hardtop Buttons

[tylerite3124]

I'm looking for 2 of the small buttons that attach the hinge to the 1/4 lite windows on the factory hardtop. There are two sizes and I need the smaller of the two. Does anyone have a couple sitting in a parts box they would sell me? Thanks for any help on this.

Can't remember for sure the size, But, I think I had some made a few years ago out of stainless steel and polished to like mirror finish. Think they were 3/4" dia.

Thought of doing them again! Cost was not effective for my pocket book because I only had a dozen made.

If there were enough HardTop Owners interested I might have another go. This time do both the 5/8" and the 3/4" buttons.

If any of you Guys are interested, I'll ask my Draftsman/Engineer?

You can use rear glass buttons from a 1999 Chevy Astro van. You will have to go to a bone yard I think, but its the side glass buttons work well with the quarter window on our cars hardtop

Now that is what I would say is a very nice bit of interchangeability for the Alpines.

Many thanks George!
