Hardtop Side Window Buttons

[donchiotos]

Does anyone know where I can get the hardtop side window chrome buttons. I would like to have the larger size if available. I have a 1966 v6 Alpine that has the newer hardtop. Thank you

We machined our own out of Delren.

I had some made by copying an original from Stainless steel and polished to a bright finish for my Hard Tops. Came out very nice! Probably better than originals

I must be old. What the heck is Delren?

Delrin is a DuPont trademark for homopolymer acetal resin and has been around for a loooooong time. It is a very hard, very durable, very machinable plastic that is normally an off-white color. Not a lot of tensile strength, but very good in compression. It is often used for very high performance suspension bushings where lack of compliance / comfort / noise / vibration are not issues.

Works well in lots of different places fire wall master cylinder spacers for one

And Delrin also works well to machine and make steering wheel hub repair kits! We have had a few more made up recently. Eric

I found this listing for an 86 Chevy van rear window latch that uses a button much like the ones we use on the late Series and Tiger hardtops. It may be easier to locate these buttons than an OEM Sunbeam button? This latch may have also been used on other GM vans of the same vintage. Check it out.
