VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 32 Coupe rear window

Does the rear window in a Sport Coupe crank down all the way, or is some of the window still visable when it's in the down position?

I just finished installing a partial wood kit and had to remove the window glass and water trough. The window used to go down about 90% so only about an inch or so was still seen. If that's correct then can someone check thier's and let me know how much is still showing when it's cranked all the way down.

Thanks, Ray.

The rear window cranks down all the way on my '32 Sport Coupe.

Thanks ChevyBill.
A long time ago my Dad repaired the wood around the window. I think he mounted the trough too high on the wood frame so the window bottomed against the trough.
My only reference is the 29-32 Fisher Body Manual and it shows a 29 or 30 in the photos. It is of some help but not clear enough to see what is going on.
If anyone has this area open, give me a dimension from the top of the wood at the window opening (bottom center) to the top of the metal pan that is connected to the trough.
Thanks, Ray
Any help from you guys would be great.

Mine cranks all the way down. Taking a quick measurement, in the trunk the bottom of the trough is about 8" below the wooden crossmember.

Thanks Bob, I replied to your email.
